Beyond Bank

Zero Waste Office Lunches

BYO @ Work

Beyond Bank is Australia’s first BCorp Bank, with branches across Australia, in the ACT, New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.

They strongly value sustainability and approached us for help with setting up a lunchtime reusable container initiative for Plastic Free July 2022.

After a deep dive into current employee lunchtime behaviour, we decided that a BYO @ Work reusable Mealbox system would work best for Beyond Bank.

BYO @ Beyond Bank was successfully rolled out in 21 branches and was embraced by all for its launch during Plastic Free July and beyond.

As part of this project the mighty Grab Station was born, to increase impact by reminding everyone to take their Mealboxes when they pop to lunch. 

We loved working with fellow BCorp, Beyond Bank, to create a long-term positive impact on their lunchtime waste stream and a zero waste feel good factor for their employees.

 

“We’ve got a broad contingent of rePlated champions spreading awareness and helping to build the network”
