Plastic waste from packaging is the leading cause of plastic pollution in the ocean. It’s estimated that by 2050, plastic pollution will be greater than the mass of all fish in the ocean at current levels. Plastic packaging waste that is landfilled or burned off can pollute the environment and pose health risks to people and animals.
Most coffee bags are made from a variety of materials, including plastic, foil and paper. Foil is the worst material to use from an environmental point of view. It’s great for keeping your coffee fresh, but the manufacturing process for foil uses 6-7x more energy than other materials and has a much worse overall effect on emissions and human health.
Why you should consider sustainable coffee packaging? Because -
- 300 million tons of plastic produced yearly. That's nearly the weight of the entire human population!
- 50% of the packaging waste in the world comes from food and beverage products.
- Plastic landfills are the 3rd highest cause of methane gas emissions.
As a eco-conscious brand, you shouldn't be a part of the problem, you can do your bit to solve it!
