Happy packaging, happy planet, happy wallet

Welcome to the Borrow* Pilot

Borrow* is a pilot scheme launched by Green Street.

There are no easy or simple alternatives to disposable packaging for customers who want to takeaway food and drink. Often this feels like the only choice and packaging just ends up as litter or being burnt. 

Green Street has selected Bradford to be the first city to trial Borrow* our new circular borrowing scheme. 

Borrow* provides accessible reuse solutions to disrupt the disposable food and drink packaging market, with an added tech-enabled monthly prize draw for consumers to opt in for.

Studies show that the average lifespan of a single use coffee cup is just 15 minutes.

We aim to tackle this problem, making the concept of approaching a new circular economy easy to understand and accessible to all – especially when many are living through the cost of living crisis and the environment is not always everyone’s priority.  

We want to ensure that making better choices is easy and fuss-free. Packaging is borrowed, returned and washed ready for reuse. Don’t forget about the perks too, from instant discounts and prize draws through to helping us in eliminating single use waste entirely.
