Our 5 guidelines:
#1 We keep on innovating in the packaging of our coffees. Right now our packaging is made of plastic (instead of foil which was more damaging) and recyclable if put in a plastic bin.
#2 We keep exploring ways to reduce waste. From the interior of our Espressobar (made with recycled materials) to the jute bags our coffee is transported in, to the milk we use for our coffees.
#3 We use state-of-the-art and energy efficient roasters and espresso machines. By using a LORING roaster we save 80% on our gas use.
#4 We believe in growing coffee organically and with respect for the planet and its soil. But we do not always believe in organic certification. Therefore we only buy organic certified coffee in some origins. Right now, 4 of our 7 Year Round coffees are organically certified. Bocca is SKAL certified.
#5 We keep the amount of km our coffee has to travel as low as possible. Of course we prefer sea freight over air.
