Taking action, beacause
And we're making changes to ensure sustainability.
There's always more we can do, for sustainability and reduced environmental impact.
Here are some of our current efforts.
Our bags are certified by TUV AUSTRIA CERT GMBH to comply with standard EN 13432 for compostability.
Because of the compostability standard for these bags, homecomposting could take as much as 6 months to achieve 90% degradation.
When referring to “home” or “backyard” composting, a cooler aerobic breakdown of organic material or waste is meant, usually in small-scale composters and by ‘slow-stack’ treatment methods. Temperatures are generally lower. Cutting the bags into strips can help speed things up.
One can also produce compost at a higher rate by more frequently stirring the contents and moving the material through a series of containers.
Our labels are Hemp Post Consumer Waste with a Natural Kraft Liner.
One additional challenge – Waterloo Region does not have the infrastructure to take these types of materials in your green bin.
If all of this is too much for you, please just bring the bags back to us. We will bale them, and submit them to an Industrial Composter, keeping them out of the landfill.
In another of our green efforts,and to better serve our customers, we offer our Monigram Coffee Club!
Those who need more than a single bag, and want to further reduce their consumption of packaged material, we are now offering 2.5lb returnable and reusable bucket. It’s the equivalent of about 3 bags of coffee, and works out at about 10% the equivalent bags.
This requires local delivery or pick-up, as return shipping of the buckets would negate the benefits.
And yes, we can do porch swaps.
We take our wholesale efforts seriously.
We distribute coffee in reusable food safe buckets.
We don’t use plastic bottles for any products, preferring glass where needed (such as syrups).
We have converted wholesale customers away from fractional packaging by installing appropriate large grinders. (Frac Pac pouches are the those metallized plastic pouches that you split open and dump in the filter.)
We will gladly give you our used coffee grounds for your at-home projects.
Whether if it's for your garden, for body scrubs, or anything else around the house, you name it!
Call the store to schedule a time to pick up and we will set some aside for you.
We care, you care. Small changes add up to big differences.
