Hookturn Industries are the creators of the BYO reusable coffee cup, saving the planet one coffee at a time, and Wear Melbourne, a fashion range of designer cushions.
Hookturn is a collective that want to celebrate Melbourne-ness. Its places. Its look. Its people. Its passions.
Our name comes from the traffic signs that help cars and Melbourne trams peacefully co-exist. Each Hookturn sign is a reminder that sometimes you have to turn left to go right.

Welcome to Melbourne’s 2012 Food and Wine Festival.
I don’t know how they pack everything into a year! Just when the Sustainable Festival packs up it’s tents – the 20th Melbourne Food and Wine Festival bursts on the scene.
Running from March 2 – 21, there are amazing food related events going on all over town. Melbourne turned the rain on for the opening evening – but that didn’t stop anyone having a fabulous time.
There are events for children, glamorous events for grown ups and some of the world’s most awarded and respected chefs arriving in town to whoop it up and show us how it’s all done. I hear Jamie Oliver is in town next Tuesday night.
And don’t miss the Greenhouse by Joost in Queensbridge Square. It’s a pop-up restaurant that’s completely self sustainable. Absolutely no waste comes from this delicious little corner – and Joost has introduced some simple but highly effective ideas into the space to ensure he leaves no footprint behind. What’s more the food there is great!
If you live in regional Victoria, keep a lookout for a Food and Wine event near you. There are 100 very exciting events right across the State. This, the 20th Festival, promises to be the very best yet – and to set the standard for the future.
So, grab your BYO Cup and enjoy the great atmosphere of this world-class event.

Wow! Just look at this.
This photograph shows just one day’s worth of discarded paper coffee cups from just one Melbourne city building.
Are you shocked? We are. Just imagine a year long pile.
The BYO Coffee Cup is trying to reduce this sort of thing.
Photograph kindly supplied by Great Forest, Australia. A group who advise business and Government departments on managing their sustainable initiatives.
Thank you Great Forest for the pic – and the really interesting insights into dealing with waste in a sustainable way.
