The iconic Moccona jar has transformed!
For the first time, Moccona has invited the next generation of designers across ANZ with a passion for sustainability, to create designs to feature on a new decorative jar collection. The designs celebrate Moccona’s upcycle movement as part of its ongoing commitment to a sustainable coffee journey.
The six winning artworks feature on more than two million jars worldwide, highlighting important sustainability topics in a beautiful way to inspire people to take small steps towards creating a more sustainable world.
Moccona will be donating AUD$100,000 to be shared across six sustainable causes, each related to one of the six winning jar designs. Customers can make a little difference by helping decide how much goes to each cause. Check out the designs, see the inspiration behind them and meet the talented young designers, finding out which cause they are supporting – then vote for your favourite at moccona.com.au/make-a-difference

Pedalling Forwards

Encouraging sustainable transport
Jemma Ortiger’s design highlights how sustainable transport, especially cycling, can help keep us moving – without costing the earth.
Her design is supporting Dismantle, an award-winning youth charity that uses bike upcycling to engage disadvantaged young people.

Our Whales Below

Protecting ocean species by reducing pollution in waterways and on beaches

Her design supports ORRCA, who are committed to the rescue, research, conservation and welfare of Whales, Dolphins, Seals and Dugongs in Australian Waters.
Protecting Friends
Celine Groene – Sydney, Australia
Celebrating and protecting Australia’s biodiversity

Small Actions
Georgia Billman – Auckland, New Zealand

Bee the Change
Sophie Williamson – Auckland, New Zealand
Spotlighting how pollinators play a major role in our world’s ecosystems
The inspiration for Sophie Williamson’s design comes from the fact that bees, butterflies and other pollinators play a major role in the world’s ecosystems – and are therefore essential for a sustainable future.
Her design supports Bees Up Top, who aim to increase bee populations by supplying healthy, happy hives to rooftop urban areas across NZ, whilst raising funding to re-home rescued bees and treat them for disease.
The new decorative jar collection will be stocked at all leading supermarkets, RRP$20.99. To find out more about Moccona’s Decorative Jars, or vote for your favourite jar and find upcycling inspiration, head to Moccona.com.nz/make-a-little-difference
