Borrow a cup, skip the waste

Borrow by Huskee makes it easy to enjoy your daily coffee — without the guilt, the mess, or the landfill-coming soon

No need to remember your cup. No need to wash it. No extra cost.
Just borrow, enjoy, and drop it off when you’re done. It’s that easy.

Borrow by Huskee is a free, app-based cup system available at International Towers — designed to fit around your day, not slow it down. Whether you’re grabbing a flat white before a meeting or catching up with a colleague over coffee, you can sip waste-free and stress-free.

Here’s what you get:

  • No upfront payment – just a refundable $3 hold (not a charge).
  • 14-day borrow window – no rush to return.
  • Smart return bins right in the lobby and shared spaces.
  • No washing required – every cup is commercially cleaned.
  • Impact tracking, return reminders, and rewards via the app.

You’ll also be able to borrow from and return to cafés like Toby’s Estate (Towers 2 & 3) and South Coffee & Food, with more drop-off points coming soon.

To mark the launch of Borrow by Huskee, we’re hosting a Spin-the-Wheel activation from 16–18 June across Towers 3 and 2. Return a cup, show your return receipt, and spin the wheel for your chance to win a sustainable prize. Read how it works here. 

Why bother? Because it actually works.

More than 2.7 million single-use coffee cups are thrown out in Australia every day. Most go straight to landfill — lined with plastic, unrecyclable, and built to last (in all the worst ways).

If just 10% of people at International Towers switched to Borrow cups, we could save thousands of cups from landfill every week.

That’s a pretty good trade for something that requires zero lifestyle change.

How it works:

  1. Borrow – Tap the app, scan your cup at a participating café, and you’re good to go.
  2. Enjoy – Use the cup for up to 14 days. The app will nudge you when it’s time to return.
  3. Return – Drop your cup at a Borrow bin — no need to wash, no stress.
The takeaway?
You’re still getting your daily coffee. You’re just not sending a cup to landfill with it.

Borrow by Huskee makes reuse automatic — and rewards you for doing the right thing. Every cup you borrow is a small win for the planet. And those wins add up.

Thanks for being part of the shift.
