Nelson City Council, NZ Cup Bond subsidy programme

Nelson City Council created a Cub Bond subsidy programme to encourage the use of reusable takeaway cups. Participating local cafes and coffee carts receive a subsidy of up to $120 for offering reusable cups as an option to customers. The programme allows customers to borrow a cup for a small fee and return it for reimbursement or a new cup with their next drink. The Council's goal is to make Nelson disposable cup-free and reduce unnecessary waste.
