How do I recycle my coffee bags?

  • Updated

We hold our packaging to the same uncompromising standards as our coffee. 

Our bags are carbon-neutral, 100% recyclable, and crafted from Post-Consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. 

By partnering with Grounded Packaging, we’ve reduced the carbon footprint of our bags by 58%, compared to our previous packaging, and fund the collection and recycling of plastic waste from the ocean-bound rivers of Indonesia and the Philippines.

How to recycle your bags 

Our bags are made from #4 LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), the same material used for supermarket carrier bags. 

Because recycling capabilities vary across the UK, there are two ways to recycle them:

  1. At the supermarket: Most large supermarkets have collection points for ‘soft plastics’ and carrier bags. This is the most reliable way to ensure the material is repurposed.
  1. At home: Some local councils accept #4 LDPE in your household recycling bin.

To be certain of the rules in your area, you can check your postcode here and look for the ‘Plastic Bags’ category.

The material behind the bag 

We use certified Global Recycling Standard (GRS) materials. This means the plastic in your bag was once a carrier bag or a poly-bag in a previous life. 

We believe that this circular approach (creating recyclable bags from recycled materials) is the best way to ensure that we are acting responsibly toward the environment.
