How it works: Two apps, one system, zero waste.

Our two apps work together to make borrowing and tracking reusable containers easy and efficient. Just like borrowing a library book!

Retailers simply use their app to scan the customer's unique QR code, and then scan the QR code of the reusable container. This eliminates the need for disposable packaging and helps reduce waste.

Our app allows you to manage your containers and track the positive impact you're making with each reuse.

Waste is such a waste

The constant production of disposable containers, no matter what their material, creates a long chain of wasted resources and long term environmental problems.

At devolver, we believe you can have the convenience of takeaway without damaging the planet and are on a mission to eliminate single use packaging for takeaway food and drink. We deliver efficient, reusable container systems that work for retailers and consumers and don’t cost the planet.

Don't let single-use packaging be a part of your daily routine any longer. Join the devolver community and be a part of the solution.

Food Retailers

Don’t wait until you have to do it. Let’s do it now! By offering a reusable container option for takeaway, you can help reduce waste and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability. Plus, it's more affordable than you might think - less than a single-use container, per use. Let’s forget disposable - it doesn’t matter if it’s paper or plastic or made from plants, it’s still likely to end up in the ground or in our oceans.

About devolver

Mary and Allison came up with the idea for a reuse system at one of their children’s playdates. They thought there had to be a way to enjoy takeaway food without the waste, or having to remember to bring your own container.

They set out to develop a system whereby customers could borrow a container from their favourite café or restaurant and return it within a specified timeframe. And so devolver (Spanish for return, restore) was born.
