Te Rā o Te Raukura

Te Rā o Te Raukura 2025 marked a new chapter for events in the Hutt Valley - becoming the region’s first festival to integrate reusable serviceware for food and drink at scale.

Supported by Hutt City Council, this kaupapa brought together community, culture, and a better way forward - proving that reuse systems can be seamless, scalable, and grounded in care.

The FillGood System in Action

FillGood delivered a full-service reuse setup to power 9 food and drink vendors, with reusable cups, bowls, plates, and trays circulating throughout the day.

Alongside the crew from Nonstop Solutions, we kept vendors stocked, hydrated, and flowing - while attendees enjoyed their kai and wai with no throwaways.
