How to change your impact
Bring a reusable cup, bottle and container
Monash on-campus retailers will serve you using any clean reusable cup, mug or container you provide.
Instead opt to use in-house ceramic mugs, plates and cutlery over single use packaging.
Eating in? Don't order takeaway
If you forget, borrow a reusable container
Download the Green Caffeen app to borrow a cup at a participating café for free monthly use.

Where will the cups go after the event?
We will be disposing them through SimplyCups, an Australian paper cup recycling program that saves millions of cups from landfill across the country. Simplycups makes the effort of removing the waterproof lining of single use coffee cups which usually makes them non-recyclable.
