Packaging, packaging, packaging...
Not a particularly exciting part of our offering but equally important one.
We won't bore you for long on this, pour a brew and have a quick read.
We want: Coffee bags that are sustainable but also keep the coffee fresh! Such as a resealable tab and one-way valve.
Recyclable bags. Our bags are currently "fully recyclable", label 5 (PP), which means they can be easily recyclable via your council collection or similar.
Compostable bags. We have used these in the past. Apart from being roughly twice the price as the usual packaging, they also (arguably) ideally need to be composted in industrial compost facilities.
Paper bags. Although an effective option, as with some recyclable bag versions, we believe these will not keep your coffee fresh, as it does not have an airtight seal or protect from sunlight.
We will be watching this space very closely and will implement any changes to make our packaging the most eco-friendly on the market. Alongside our other environmental commitments including planting a tree for every order.
Our packaging currently:
Label 5, Polypropylene - "Fully Recyclable" via kerbside council collections.

Dear Alex,
Thanks for this information. Can you please create a YouTube video showing how to open the bag. Maybe I am doing something wrong, at the end, I will always use scissors.
Love the coffee!
Kind regards,
Koen
