Ditch plastic, earn rewards!
To mark Plastic Free July, participating campus food retailers are rewarding staff and students who bring in reusable containers.
From 1 July to 9 August, collect stamps on a Plastic Free July card. Once your card is full, exchange it for a sustainable prize that also helps reduce consumption of single-use plastics.
Where do I get my card?
You can pick up a Plastic Free July card from any participating food retailer on City Campus.
How do I collect stamps?
You can collect a stamp each time you bring your own reusable food container or cup - to substitute a single-use food container or cup - when purchasing takeaways at participating retailers on campus.
Where retailers have their own loyalty cards that reward you for purchases, you can collect stamps simultaneously. For example, when you purchase a drink in your reusable cup, you can collect a stamp on your Plastic Free July card and a stamp on the retailer’s loyalty card.
How do I claim my prize?
When you have collected six stamps on your card, take it to the Campus Store to exchange it for a prize. Prizes are provided by the University’s Sustainability Hub.
Who can participate?
This initiative is for University of Auckland students and staff.
What happens to the stamped Plastic Free July cards?
We plan to make the stamp card data available for sustainability teaching purposes, with the potential for student projects to utilise the data.
