Safia Qureshi, Architect and Designer based in London, founded CLUBZERØ (formerly CupClub) in 2015. CLUBZERØ is the pioneer of reusability in consumer food and beverage packaging, having delivered the service at scale commercially for major NextGen food and beverage brands. Key awards include Best UX Design 2019 Fast Company and New Plastics Economy Winner from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. 

Providing a key focus for the team to serve customers across the EU and North America in the drinks category was a strategic decision with the aim to build out a commercially scalable solution. As of March 2020, CLUBZERØ completed over half a million customer orders, using only a stock volume of standardised 10,000 reusable packaging items. Safia has led on product, helping the company define universal drop point design and standardised reusable packaging for scalability, allowing brands to develop their own packaging to operate across the platform. 

Safia also directed the company to design and publish it’s work in sustainability with a focus on delivering an LCA methodology that calculates impact down to every reuse by tracking reusable packaging with a digital ID across the platform.
