revolv presents the Tiong Bahru Takeover, a reusable cup-sharing event promoting the circular economy and reducing single-use waste, taking place on 24 - 25 August 2019.
For this weekend only, revolv is working with four cafe partners in Tiong Bahru to enable customers to get their takeaway coffee in a reusable cup instead of generating waste from single-use.
The Tiong Bahru branches of Creamier, Forty Hands, Merci Marcel, and Plain Vanilla Bakery are taking part in this event to promote reuse, and are all generously offering $1 discounts for all drinks served in revolv coffee cups, an offer exclusive to this weekend.
This will be the first time in Singapore that multiple cafes have taken part in a reusable cup-sharing system across different sites, and represents the first stage in revolv’s plans to provide more permanent systems for reuse across the city.
On both days of the weekend, revolv will be stationed outside the four aforementioned cafes in Tiong Bahru - from 7 am to 7 pm. Customers can borrow a revolv reusable coffee cup by paying a fully refundable deposit of $8 per cup. Payment is accepted using PayNow or cash.
“
We’re really excited to work with fantastic cafes to pilot our reusable cup-sharing system here, reduce waste, and test demand for a longer-term solution that hardwires sustainability into our way of life.
Jonathan Tostevin, chief development, revolv
Customers can get their cup to-go and use it as many times as they wish throughout the weekend. They can return it to any of the revolv stations before 7pm on 25 August (Sunday) to get their full deposit back. Revolv handles all transactions related to the cup, and commercially cleans and sanitises all cups before and after use.
Made of toughened glass and silicone, the plastic-free reusable coffee cup is not only a healthier and stylish choice for customers to take away their drinks with, but also helps save single-use waste.
Jonathan Tostevin, Chief Development, revolv says “We love our coffee in Singapore but our takeaway lifestyle generates huge amounts of waste that we can’t recycle. We’re really excited to work with fantastic cafes to pilot our reusable cup-sharing system here, reduce waste, and test demand for a longer-term solution that hardwires sustainability into our way of life”.
