AGAIN AGAIN
Guilt-free Cups Deluxe....
After a light bulb moment in March 2018, in which Nada Piatek Managing Director, (pictured) saw a systematic approach to addressing single-use waste in the coffee industry, Again Again was born – and so was the reusable takeaway coffee cup revolution.
"Again Again offers a sustainable solution – in a Kiwi industry that sees 295 million single-use cups entering landfills and the ecosystem annually – through a reusable and refundable coffee cup share system, which stops upwards of 820,000 single-use cups entering landfills annually.” Nada tells us.
The reusable steel cups are available with a deposit and return at participating cafes, giving coffee fiends peace of mind with every sip.

2019 WINNER
NEW ZEALAND TUBE MILLS
Post Modern Posts
NZ Tube Mill’s ECO TRELLIS® Horticultural Systems produce revolutionary trellising products for the wine, table grape, kiwifruit, pip fruit and berry fruit industries.
One big advantage of ECO TRELLIS® is it replaces wooden posts that leach chemicals into the ground.
“In the wine industry alone, Australian vineyards dispose of over six million broken vineyard posts each year,” GM Terry Carter (pictured) says. “Ours are easy to install, fully recyclable and cost-effective.
The Aussies love them.” And not just Aussies – ECO TRELLIS® products are exported to USA, Canada, Scandinavia and Europe. Total exports have grown by 175% since 2016.

SHOWCASE WORKSHOP
Logs On
Showcase Workshop allows clients to create their own apps to share and display information - eliminating paper and reducing tree waste.
“We have two equal and complementary missions,” says Millie Blackwell, CEO (pictured). “We’re doing what we can to reverse climate change. And we’re providing our clients with an incredibly simple and versatile tool to distribute information to their people.”
Showcase contributes directly to Trees That Count, an organisation that is planting millions of native trees across New Zealand. Clients include Asteron Life, BNZ, Mitsubishi Motors and Vodafone.
The last twelve month’s 8,500,000 page views equate to 8.5M pages of paper saved, or one heckuva lot of trees.
