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 — and now, with no more deposits.

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 and 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 deposit, no worries.
    • Your card details will only be used if your cup isn’t returned within 14 days, and then a small $3 fee applies.
  • 14-day borrow window with no rush to return.
  • Smart return bins 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 and 3) and South Coffee & Food, with more drop-off points coming soon.

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 remind 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.
