In response to growing concerns over the environmental impact of single-use coffee packaging, Bonner-based Planetary Design is proud to announce the launch of the "Sustainable Coffee Club." This innovative program is designed to encourage coffee drinkers to adopt more sustainable practices and reduce their single-use waste.
The "Sustainable Coffee Club" offers a variety of benefits to members, including a custom Sustainable Coffee Club hat and a medium Airscape Coffee Canister that can help keep their coffee fresh for longer and can be used at coffee roasters to refill on beans instead of buying packaged coffee. Members also receive 20% off Planetary Design products for life and can purchase eco-friendly coffee products at a discount. In addition, members receive a 10% discount on a coffee subscription to Planetary Design's 'Sustainable Roaster of the Month' each month. Sustainable Coffee Club memberships can be purchased at https://planetarydesign.com/product/sustainable-coffee-club/.
One of the key features of the "Sustainable Coffee Club" is its focus on supporting the Sustainable Coffee Roaster of the Month and giving customers a discount to support these roasters each month. Planetary Design is featuring Big Creek Coffee Roasters out of Hamilton, MT, as the March Sustainable Roaster of the Month. By promoting and partnering with sustainable roasters, the program is working to reduce the environmental impact of the coffee industry. The program also donates $5 of every Sustainable Coffee Club membership to The Conservation Alliance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving wild places.
The coffee industry generates millions of tons of single-use waste every year, and most coffee packaging is not recyclable. A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimated that less than 5% of coffee packaging is currently recycled globally. The report notes that most coffee packaging is made from materials that are not recyclable or are difficult to recycle. This waste contributes to significant environmental pollution and landfill usage and will only get worse, with the global coffee packaging market expected to grow 4.2% from 2022 to 2029. By joining the "Sustainable Coffee Club," members can take simple steps to reduce their contribution to this waste while still enjoying their daily cup of coffee and contributing to a more circular, sustainable model.
"We believe that small changes can make a big impact. By offering sustainable alternatives and supporting sustainable coffee roasters, we hope to inspire coffee drinkers to impact our planet positively," said Jess Nepstad - CEO, Planetary Design.
The "Sustainable Coffee Club" is an excellent initiative that benefits the environment and rewards coffee lovers with discounts on eco-friendly products. As the coffee industry grows and evolves, sustainable solutions will be critical to reducing its environmental impact. We encourage journalists who cover sustainability, coffee consumer goods, and the coffee industry to join us in promoting the "Sustainable Coffee Club" and positively impacting our planet, one coffee refill at a time.
