Partnering for impact: Branded reusables for dishrupt, queenstown.
At Brandland we believe that design should do more than just look good — it should serve a purpose. That’s why we were thrilled to collaborate with Dishrupt Queenstown, a bold sustainability initiative by Sustainable Queenstown, on a project that puts the planet first.
In this exciting partnership, we helped Dishrupt expand their reusable serveware inventory by supplying branded enamel plates, bowls, and mugs. These custom-branded items aren’t just beautiful – they’re powerful tools in the fight against single-use waste at events across the Queenstown-Lakes region.
Whether it’s thousands of festival-goers at LUMA Southern Light Festival or families at the Lake Hayes A&P Show, these reusables are seen (and reused) again and again – reminding attendees that sustainability can be stylish, functional, and community-driven.
Since launching in 2018, DISHrupt has diverted more than 50,000 single-use items from landfill by offering a reusable serveware system at local events. Every plate, bowl, and mug in circulation plays a part in this impact — and we’re proud to know our branded items are helping tell this story.
Our collaboration helps
Increase visibility of the zero-waste message
Create consistency and pride in the Dishrupt brand
Enhance attendee experience with durable branded serveware
What We Delivered

Working alongside the passionate team at Sustainable Queenstown has been an inspiring journey. Their mission to make Queenstown’s events more sustainable aligns closely with our own values, and it’s been an honor to bring a tangible, lasting contribution to their toolkit.
Together, we’re helping to build a model that other towns and regions can follow — one reusable plate at a time.
