"Disposable coffee cups presented a major challenge for our campus. That's why we are very excited to finally be able to offer an easy and reusable option with our new Friendlier cups. We're very grateful to our food services partners and Friendlier for always keeping an open mind, and helping to design solutions that actually meet our needs. "

"We really liked Friendlier for a number of different reasons. They were already proven. They were already growing. The impact is tangible. They've got solid data that validates not only the plastic reduction, but it also supports the carbon reduction goals. There's so many facets that you can accomplish by a simple solution. "

" It was an easy transition. Once everyone got familiar with what they were supposed to do with the container it was great. I was one of the skeptics at the begining but seeing how smoothly the transition has gone, I absolutely would recommend it to any college or university. "

"The Farm Boy team was highly impressed with the support and collaboration from the Friendlier team. It was crucial that the communications matched the level of quality our customers expect from the Farm Boy experience. Friendlier did an outstanding job, and we’re excited to see where the program takes us!"

"Friendlier was more than willing to come through and do site visits [and] in terms of the launch, I personally feel it was the quickest turnaround time. The Friendlier team was able to not only provide us with [what we needed], but was able to do the training in that time, plus all the marketing. In terms of ordering, it's been very seamless. The Friendlier platform is easily accessible. It's easy to use. The rollout overall was a complete success."

"Friendlier has been very good in helping us with transportation logistics. We often have deliveries and pickups on the daily at Humber, so they really help us manage the volume of containers that are coming in and going out from the college. We've had a lot of really great customer service. Friendlier has been with us every step of the way. Friendlier has worked really well for us and I'd be happy to recommend them to any post secondary institution looking for reusable container solutions."

"In 2024, we had over 2800 reusable containers utilized at Bloom, saving about 470kg GHG emissions. It's such a wonderful opportunity to have our student chefs engaged in a process like this and to get to see it firsthand."

"I would recommend Friendlier to other locations and accounts across Canada. It's a great program and they're very easy to work with."
