As a business that has been circular in our thinking from the beginning it was an incredible recognition and honour. One of the particular points that they made during the awards ceremony was that to level the playing field they looked at how much had been spent on innovation. This gave startups like us an advantage in that they were looking to see how much you had achieved given the budget. In our category the other finalists are all incredible, established businesses whom we admire including ReturnR so we were hugely surprised and grateful to win.

Some incredible winners in other categories who we really love are Danling Xiao who won the shapeshifter award (we also love her business re.co), great wrap and funghi solutions. These are all incredible packaging innovations we know are doing great things to change the conversation around circularity, sustainability and waste.

From our entry the team at The Circle Awards published this:

RePlated makes reusable takeaway food containers designed for heavy-duty use and made in Sydney from an innovative combination of recycled PET & glass.

Australians eat 4.5 million takeaway meals every single day, which means the average Australian eats take-away three times per week. Reusables are far superior than even the best single-use alternative (compostables) and there is a growing network of food businesses across the country accepting these BYO containers, supported by a SWAP & WASH pilot program.

Each container is expected to last at least a few years and at end of life, they are remanufactured into 3D printed cutlery. RePlated also recently obtained BCorp certification and proudly donates 2% of revenue to Bush Heritage.

The commentary from judge Tamara Veltre the co-founder & Head of Operations at Breathe Architecture was

“Replated has embraced the circular economy model by designing this pretty cute but tough, reusable container made from a blend of recycled plastic and glass.

Their mission is to change the future of take away by starting a re-use revolution. I congratulate Replated wholeheartedly on their vision to change the status quo, a very worthy winner. Their innovation represents an exciting blueprint for the future where waste and pollution can become a thing of the past.”

Thank you to Tamara for those kind words and to the entire jury of the inaugural year of this competition.
