Are you sick of seeing hundreds of meal containers in your office thrown into the trash each day? Or having your coffee whilst watching your local cafe hand out disposable packaging? Maybe you're a ReTubber and you didn't know it!

Inspired by filling up the trash can at her desk, meal after meal, day after day in a high pressure corporate environment, Veronica S. set out on a quest to make the worlds best reusuable food container, the Retub (Website link - https://retub.com.au/)

This is equally supported by reswap, the container exchange program in cafes and restaurants, to fit neatly into the lives of a busy workforce.

Learn about how it works, what makes it special, the customers pushing the reswap program and in part 2, dive into the challenges of manufacturing and starting a company.

Veronica would like to thank Flynt Reynolds and Jimmy Forsyth from LeasePlan, Jeff Holmes, David Holman and Bill Harvey from the Hobart City Council, Bronte Hogarth and 1 Million Women for their support on the journey!
