We eliminate single-use plastic with reuse at scale. Returnable is the new reusable. turnus.in

About us

We believe that ridding the planet of single-use plastic requires a revolutionary approach. TURN’s capture-and-reuse system started in Australia and New Zealand in 2012 – and is continuing to reimagine systems thinking and the principle of circularity. TURN’s basic philosophy is simple: If consumers reTURN empty cups for reuse, WAY less plastic waste will be produced and disposed of inappropriately. What makes our system unique is the hardware and software technology that can be integrated into any brand offering — accelerating the F&B industry’s transition away from single-use plastics. We’ve built a reuse platform designed for scale. - Smart packaging and bins that limit cross contamination - Incentive driven structure that rewards consumers for reTURNing - Smart software to track user reTURNs - Washing system that cleans more efficiently and effectively than alternatives - Measurable sustainability data No other reuse system caters so seamlessly for both large scale events like music festivals and sports matches and for venues like airports and stadiums. We are starting a reTURNable revolution. Will you join?

    "There is no such thing as 'away'. Things you throw away simply end up somewhere else." - Annie Leonard This powerful statement underscores the reality of our waste problem. While it might seem convenient to discard single-use items, the truth is, they don't simply vanish. They accumulate in landfills, pollute our oceans, and harm wildlife. At TURN, we believe in a circular economy where waste is minimized and resources are maximized. Our reusable cups are a tangible solution to the single-use plastic crisis. By choosing reusability, we're not just reducing waste, we're actively contributing to a healthier planet. Let's challenge ourselves to rethink our consumption habits and embrace a more sustainable future. Together, we can create a world where the concept of "away" becomes obsolete. #sustainability #circulareconomy #reusability #plasticpollution #turn

    Western Australia Leads the Charge: A Win for Sustainability and Reusable Cups! ♻️☕️ At TURN, we're thrilled to celebrate a major victory for sustainability in Western Australia! As of March 1st, 2024, the state has implemented a ban on single-use, non-compostable coffee cups and lids. This landmark decision positions Western Australia as a national leader in the fight against plastic waste and sets a powerful example for other regions to follow. ⭐ Why We're Excited This ban is a significant step towards reducing the environmental impact of single-use plastics. Every year, billions of disposable coffee cups end up in landfills and pollute our oceans. Western Australia's bold move encourages a shift towards reusable alternatives, promoting a more circular economy and a healthier planet. ♻️ TURN and the Reusable Revolution At TURN, we're passionate about providing scalable sustainable solutions no matter what you’re drinking. Our reusable cups offer an alternative to single-use options, empowering individuals and companies to make a positive impacts with every sip. 📈 What This Means for Businesses and Consumers The Western Australian ban presents an exciting opportunity for businesses and consumers alike. Cafes can explore offering reusable cup programs, discounts, or rewards for customers who choose reusability. Consumers can invest in a reusable cup they love, reducing their environmental footprint while enjoying their favorite coffee! ☕️ A Call to Action Western Australia's ban is a significant step forward, but the fight against plastic waste is far from over. We encourage everyone to embrace reusable options, not just for coffee, but for all their daily needs. Let's celebrate this win for sustainability and work together to create a world where reusability is the norm! #sustainability #australia #plastic #pollution #turn

    The Secret to Eliminating Single-Use Plastic: Rewards 🎁 Did you know a staggering 50,000 single-use plastic bottles and cups are used EVERY SECOND? With only 9% being recycled, this plastic crisis demands a radical solution. Over the last decade, TURN has tested dozens of approaches, and we’ve settled on a powerful solution: rewards! ⭐ Positive Reinforcement > Punishment Punitive approaches like deposit schemes often backfire, breeding resentment. Rewards, however, create a positive association with reuse. This positive experience makes individuals more likely to repeat the behavior, leading to sustained habits. 📈 Gamifying Reuse leads to a 10% Increase in Returns. Over the last decade, when TURN has implemented rewards programs, we have seen a 10% increase in return rates, with the number of people returning products now consistently over 90%. 🌊 What’s the impact of a 10% increase?  A recent report by Oceana states that just a 10-percentage point increase in reusable packaging by 2030 can eliminate over 1 trillion single-use plastic bottles and cups! Ready to learn more about the science behind rewards and how TURN can help? Head to our blog ➡️

What do you do to minimize your carbon footprint? I use keep cups, no straws, no bottled water (I use my Stanley 🤣 ), I don't eat meat and am trying to be more mindful of my consumerist habits, in general! But is this enough? Yes, every little bit counts 🍀 , but imagine having a reuse system that scales 🤩 that's where TURN - REUSE comes in! We already work with some fantastic, environmentally forward companies and would love have more companies join our mission to save the 🌎
