About Us
ShareWares is a Vancouver-based innovator that provides venues
and businesses with returnable reusable beverage and food containers.
​​
In other words...
Our affordable plug&play platform makes it easy to replace single-use disposable packaging with 'wares' that are returned, washed, and reused.​
Since our launch in 2021,
ShareWares has proven to be a
scalable alternative for single-
use disposable packaging.
The goal?
Enable the smooth transition of reusable packaging as the
new standard everywhere in Vancouver.
Our Mission
To make returnable-reusable containers convenient and accessible so that they become the default choice for all packaging selection.
Our Vision
Low-waste living is easy, affordable, desirable, and accessible to all.
Why Does This Matter?
In Metro Vancouver alone, over 441 million single-use cups and containers are wasted annually. Only ~9% of plastic is recycled.
Our Values
SUSTAINABILITY
Less waste, better future.
INNOVATION
Curious minds. Bold solutions.
COMMUNITY
Together, we thrive.
TRUST
Every voice matters.
DRIVE
Relentless spirit. Real change.
Why Sharing?
Rather than extracting fresh materials to make products that live for minutes and then sit in an endless recycling line, ShareWares keeps each item in use.
Use, Return, Wash, and Reuse hundreds of times.
How?
Through our simple plug-and-play system. Venues, festivals, and organizers borrow our wares to provide them to their guests.
Where?
There are multiple Vancouver businesses providing ShareWares. Our wares circulate through a growing network of event venues, stadiums, and cafes city-wide.
