Sustainability

When we built our new roastery, we had the opportunity to install LED lights! So, we did. They use a mere 20% of the energy a standard light bulb consumes…

What do you do with 96,000 Bruno Rossi cups that couldn’t be used? Well, we definitely didn’t want to send them to landfill.

Kudos to Vilash, our resident roastery engineer. He installed a series of motion sensor light switches around our office, so we’re never lighting an empty room.

One of our goals is zero waste to landfill by 2025. So, we’ve come up with a plan for our chaff! What’s chaff? It’s the skin that comes off the raw coffee bean during roasting.

Here’s a resourceful bit of thinking. Dan, a community park ranger from Auckland Council, loves using our old hessian coffee sacks for weed matting in different parks across the city.

Yep, that’s around 34 million soft plastic bags and wrappers turned into Future Posts. The Packaging Forum’s Soft Plastic scheme has published its amazing achievements for the year,

It was a moment to celebrate when our first production run of soft plastics kicked off in October 2020. Now, all coffee packaging produced at our roastery can be recycled through the Soft Plastics collection scheme.

Antica (marketing) and Steph (sales) spent a very chilly Saturday morning conducting grassroots market research at a local soccer park. The goal?

We’re super grateful to be working with good people at Textile Products. These guys take the majority of our used hessian sacks. They shred them and use them as a raw material in many of their products..
