Impacts of sustainable packaging for the coffee Industry
Sustainability is a hot topic in both the speciality coffee and packaging industries. In 2018, the UN predicted that if consumption and waste management don’t change, the world will be home to some 12 billion tonnes of plastic waste by 2050.
Coffee businesses around the world have been focusing on creating a more sustainable, circular economy. They do this by adding value to the products and materials they use. They have also made progress in replacing disposable packaging with “greener” solutions.
We are conscious that single-use packaging endangers the world’s ecosystem. There are ways to decrease the consumption of single-use packaging, however. These include avoiding materials derived from fuel and recycling material that is already in circulation.
