The Australian festival and events scene is undergoing a major transformation, and at the forefront of this shift is the groundbreaking partnership between Revibes and Diageo. As sustainability becomes an increasingly vital component of the events industry, this collaboration marks a significant step towards reducing single-use waste and promoting a circular economy.

Europe has long been at the forefront of sustainability, with progressive policies, innovative solutions, and a commitment to reducing waste. When it comes to reusable cups and other reusable packaging, Europe is setting a global example. From legislation banning single-use plastics to pioneering circular economy initiatives, European nations are leading the way in making reusables the standard rather than the exception.

Revibes is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with City Return and Earn, bringing together two powerful sustainability initiatives to drive the shift towards reuse. This collaboration is set to redefine how businesses, events, and consumers view waste by leveraging the existing 10c deposit scheme on eligible containers to help offset the costs of reusable food and drink ware.

Jack Charewicz grew up in Adelaide, where his entrepreneurial spirit was evident from a young age. At just 13, he was delivering newspapers and stocking shelves at his local news agency. Unlike most kids his age, Jack didn’t view work as a chore—it was a passion, a challenge, and a form of entertainment. This drive and relentless work ethic shaped his future, pushing him toward a career in business.

Jack Charewicz, Founder and CEO of Revibes, has a bold vision for Australia's future—one where single-use waste is a thing of the past and reusable solutions become the standard. His mission is to make reuse as convenient, cost-effective, and accessible as disposable packaging, shifting the way Australians interact with everyday products.

At Revibes, our mission has always been clear: to create a world where reuse is the norm, not the exception. With every step forward, we strive to collaborate with like-minded organisations that share our commitment to sustainability and innovation. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Wallop Water, a leading name in hydration solutions for events and festivals. Together, we’re taking reuse to the next level, providing sustainable alternatives that are not only cost-effective but also transformative for the events industry.
