We helped produce a video for social media… And then we recorded the voice over for a Mug Library advertisement for our local radio station Triple B.

We get a lot of mugs donated through deceased estates or people moving, or replacing. Unfortunately, we don’t sell them all. I’m not sure of the exact tonnage rate but maybe a few box loads a year we’d have to put in landfill.
We’d much rather give them to a nice organisation like Mug Library and keep that circular economy going.

Mugs are slow to turn over in our op shop, Before this initiative we’d often send one box of unsold mugs to landfill per month, because they hadn’t found a new home within the designated time on the shelf.
Now we’re able to divert this resource from waste to reuse.
