Sadly, to transport our freshly roasted coffee to your doorstep, fossil fuels still have to be burned (we know-urgh!). Thankfully, we’re now able to offset those emissions through our Carbon Offset Program.
Since our company’s inception, examining our supply chain and production methods has always been a major focus. Everything that arrives in your coffee delivery box is either recyclable or biodegradable.
Our coffee bags are fully recyclable, and our bag labels and blend information cards are specially printed using vegan-friendly inks, powered by 100% green energy. They are also fully recyclable and biodegradable. The boxes themselves are made from 100% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable, and we use eco-friendly packing tape for our larger boxes. Did you know that our takeaway cup lids are fully compostable? It’s the small details that add up to a big difference.
One of the biggest dilemmas facing all businesses is finding a way to offset the carbon emissions created during the transportation of goods to customers. Trading Post Coffee Roasters is proud to say that we successfully offset all carbon emissions generated from our online orders.
Through our provider Shopify, we are able to use their offset program which supports forest conservation projects in Brazil, Central America & the USA. The program calculates our total monthly carbon emissions and converts this into our ‘monthly Offset cost’. We then invest this back into the various forest conservation projects which has helped to offset 57 million kilograms of C02.
