Our responsible management of resources
Resources are precious, don’t waste them.
We reuse waste materials
Our coffee is “circular”: we give materials a second life.
The roasting department at the Caivano plant processes raw coffee to produce around 30,000 tonnes of coffee each year. As well as coffee for consumption, also recovered from raw coffee are silverskin, the outer film of the coffee bean, sieved powders, a resource used in the production of compost and fertiliser, and the jute sacks which are sold and used in agriculture for mulching.
