A zero-waste, reusable coffee cup initiative by Darebin City Council and Darebin Zero Waste Business Network.   thewangimproject@gmail.com

Wangim aims to remove the need for single-use cups.

Sustainability Victoria estimates that one billion single-use coffee cups are used in Australia every year. Due to both our recycling crisis and difficulty in breaking down materials, most of these cups end up in landfill.

At an individual level, one Darebin cafe has estimated that it uses 40,000 single-use cups annually. The role of individual cafes in both contributing to, and addressing, waste creation is something we should not underestimate.
