Kahurangi joins the kaipaki milk tap movement!

At the café and kiosk we have a Kaipaki Dairies' Milk Tap system, helping us make a significant step towards sustainability for our sites. Saving 6000 plastic two-litre milk bottles annually, this initiative adopts 10-litre reusable pails, which are collected, cleaned, and reused daily. Such a cool initiative!

The innovative Milk Tap system then allows our baristas to dispense the precise amount of milk needed for each order, minimising over-pouring and unnecessary waste.
