Hey there, coffee enthusiasts! If you’ve noticed a fresh look to our coffee bags, you’re not alone. We’ve revamped our packaging, and it’s more than just a pretty face—it’s a step towards a greener, more sustainable future. Here’s everything you need to know about our new coffee bags and why they matter.
At TCB, we’re committed to reducing our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional coffee experiences. Our new coffee bags are crafted from 70% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, marking a significant shift away from virgin fossil fuel-based materials. By repurposing plastics from items like carrier bags and food wrappers, we’re not only reducing waste but also closing the recycling loop.
Wondering how to recycle your new coffee bags? It’s simpler than ever:
Check Local Recycling: Visit the Recycle Now website and enter your postcode to find out if you can recycle plastic bags and wrapping at home.
Drop-off Locations: If curbside recycling isn’t available, local supermarkets often have recycling bins conveniently located at their entrances.
By recycling your coffee bags, you’re contributing to the circular economy, extending the lifespan of our packaging, and minimizing environmental impact. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
We understand your concern about food safety. Rest assured, our new bags are rigorously tested and certified food-safe. This means they meet stringent regulatory standards to ensure they do not pose any health risks when in contact with your beloved coffee beans. Our commitment to quality extends from the sourcing of beans to the packaging that preserves their freshness.
When you choose TCB’s coffee, you’re supporting more than just your morning brew. Our commitment to sustainability extends to initiatives like carbon offsetting through SeaTrees, which restores mangrove trees and kelp forests—an essential habitat for coastal ecosystems. Additionally, through our ‘this bag saves’ program, we’ve removed over 20,000 ocean-bound bottles from Asian rivers, contributing to cleaner oceans and healthier marine life.
You might be wondering why we opted for recyclable packaging over compostable alternatives. While compostable packaging is appealing in theory, the reality is that most consumers lack access to composting facilities. Studies indicate that much of this packaging ends up in landfill or contaminates food waste streams, hindering recycling efforts.
For now, recyclable packaging aligns best with our sustainability goals by ensuring widespread accessibility and effectiveness in recycling systems. However, we remain vigilant, continuously evaluating emerging research and infrastructure developments to adapt our packaging strategy responsibly in the future.
As we continue to innovate and refine our practices, your support makes a tangible impact on environmental conservation. Together, we can enjoy exceptional coffee while safeguarding the planet for future generations.
