UBC Vancouver is looking friendlier this fall with the launch of a new reusable container program! Through a partnership with Friendlier, you can now grab many meal and beverage options in reusable containers at UBC Food Services locations.
How It Works
- Enjoy your meal in a Friendlier container.
- Scan the QR code using the Friendlier app.
- Drop it off in any Friendlier bin.
Check it out at locations like DaBao, Mercante, Perugia, Harvest Market (Poderosa Commons), Hero | Harvest Market (Brock Commons), Pho Real, Presto, and Stir it Up.
You’ll also find Friendlier containers and return bins at The Nest in collaboration with AMS Food and Beverage. That means even more options to return your container, no matter where you eat on campus.
A Little Effort, A Big Impact
Your impact is tangible. Every time you scan and return, the Friendlier app shows you the waste you’ve helped prevent.
Your deposit comes back to you. Each reusable container has a small deposit, which you can easily reclaim through the app.
Or pay it forward. Instead of cashing out, you can choose to donate your deposit to charity, including the UBC Student Food Security Initiative and AMS Food Bank, which directly support students on campus.
With thousands of meals served every day at UBC, even small actions add up—making this simple swap an easy way to do good for both the planet and the UBC community.
