BORROW Program by Light My Fire
With the recent European ban on single-use plastics which took effect in January 2024, we’re reminded of the pressing need to transition to reusable solutions that contribute to reducing waste. Single-use plastics, once seen as convenient, now overshadow our planet with environmental degradation, cluttered landscapes and massive ocean litter. Their prevalence emphasizes our responsibility to address the widespread pollution they cause.
Introduction to the BORROW Program: A Collaborative Endeavor
In anticipation of this paradigm shift and to support the EU's initiative, Light My Fire has collaborated with event organizers, restaurateurs and Swedish designers, to introduce the BORROW Program—a timely alternative to single-use tableware.
Our Vision: Living Lightly on the Land and Envisioning a Waste-free World
Light My Fire focuses on reducing plastic waste and advancing the transition to a regenerative economy. By creating durable, long-lasting plastic products that replace single-use plastic and developing innovative solutions, we aim to drive behavioral change and promote responsible plastic usage.
What is the BORROW Program?
The BORROW Program offers businesses the option to rent, lease or buy reusable tableware that saves you money, eliminates single-use waste and reduces your reliance on single-use plastics. The BORROW Program isn't just about products; it's a new way of thinking. BORROW redefines how we consume, one plate and fork at a time.
What Does the BORROW Program Include?
Our tableware solutions are designed for cafes, event managers, food truck owners and more. They include reusable plates, tumblers, bowls and cutlery, made with functionality in mind. Each item offers durability without compromising on aesthetics.
