Bring your own
Visitors to Nelson Tasman are encouraged to buy a reusable cup for use during their holiday, and to take it home as a memento. There are many locally created options across the region, from pottery, to glass to recycled plastic. Alternatively, you can pop into one of our 30 pre-loved shops and find one there!
For those visitors that pass through Motueka, you can also take advantage of the local CupCycling™ programme which offers a ‘reusable cup’ swap option. Participating cafés and outlets can be identified by their CupCycling™ signage. Culture of change – one cup at a time!
