  • Can anyone recommend a coffee subscription that’s packaged in recyclable materials?

    I had been looking at HasBean but I think the bags that the coffee bag itself is posted in can’t be recycled. Trying to do my bit - any tips appreciated.

  • Be interested if there's owt like this. I think some cafe wholesale suppliers deliver bulk in re-usable 'bins' but I'm not aware of owt like that for retail.

  • Monmouth coffee use paper bags and I'm sure they have a subscription option.

  • My local whomst I have never tried but seem good package their stuff in natty tins:

    Which are pretty reusable, not sure how recyclable. Think the idea is that you rock up at your local with a tin for refilling.

  • Perky Blenders make a point that their coffee packaging is biodegradable (once you cut the plastic valve out and recycle it) and I'm pretty sure last time I got an order from them it arrived in an ordinary cardboard box, no padded envelope like Hasbean use. Not sure Monmouth do offer a subscription but their mail order packaging is pleasingly all card/paper as has been said.

    (I do think that the bags Hasbean use if you're just getting one bag of coffee at a time are recyclable plastic by the way, but if you get more than one at once they switch it to the padded plastic/paper envelope.)

    Use plant based biodegradable plastic.

  • I've just remembered the Ancoats Coffee I get is in cardboard box & biodegradeable bag. Box is letterbox shape too.
