Say no to single use and join Borrow*
Free Bradford pilot for limited period
Make your business stand out
In a recent survey, 72% of consumers in the UK said that more needs to be done to make it easier for them to use reusable packaging.
Borrow* has developed a simple solution for businesses to provide their customers with returnable, reusable packaging for drinks and takeaways. Borrow* businesses have found that they attract new customers as well as saving money on packaging. Find out why other businesses have become involved.
Ryan Gallagher director of Java Joe who has two of his cafés taking part in Borrow*:
“We want to do what we can to try and make a positive impact on the city that we serve and love. Green Street is bringing a positive change to our city and it was an easy choice for us to be involved.”
Zane, owner of Café Liza:
“Is a great opportunity to make a greener Bradford and cut down on waste. We’ve had an amazing response so far, customers are very engaged and want to make that difference, they are very supportive of the scheme.”
