Eco-Friendly Tips for Coffee Lovers

REDUCE
– Bring your own mug to coffee shops
– Refuse plastic straws or bring your own
– Buy coffee in bulk instead of single-serve pods

REUSE
– Switch to reusable coffee filters
– Use reusable straws (metal, glass, or silicone)
– Compost coffee grounds or repurpose them into a body scrub or plant fertilizer
– Donate extra mugs in good condition
– Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays for iced coffee
– Reuse coffee tins for storage or as a plant pot

RECYCLE
– Clean, empty coffee tins can go in your curbside recycling
Many coffee-related items are hard to recycle and won’t be accepted in your local recycling, but that doesn’t mean they’re destined for the landfill! Several companies have partnered with @terracycle to take back their products & recycle them:
– Black & Decker: coffee makers
– Cambio Roasters: coffee pods
– Jose’s: coffee bags & pods
– Don Francisco’s: coffee bags & pods
– Café La Llave: coffee pods
– Dunkin’: coffee bags & plastic film from bottles
– Nespresso: pods & machines
– McCafe: Nespresso pods
🌎 Other options:
– Staples accepts coffee brewers under 40 lbs
– Best Buy recycles pod machines like Keurig & Nespresso
