Craft 42 Roasters and RooTree: A Sustainable Solution for Coffee Lovers
Craft 42 Roasters and RooTree: A Sustainable Solution for Coffee Lovers
At Craft 42 Roasters, we’re always looking for ways to elevate your coffee experience while being mindful of the environment. That’s why we’ve partnered with RooTree, an innovative company based in Burlington, Ontario, to create fully home-compostable coffee bags.
These bags not only break down naturally in your home compost bin but also have a more sustainable life cycle before they’re even produced. And for those who prefer to skip the bag altogether, you can bring in your own canister or refill an old bag and save $2 on your coffee purchase.
Here’s a look at how this initiative is shaping the future of coffee packaging.
What Makes RooTree Bags Unique?
RooTree’s bags are designed to reduce waste at every stage. Unlike traditional coffee packaging, which often relies on plastic or aluminum, these bags are made with plant-based materials that decompose naturally.
But the sustainability benefits go deeper than composting. The production process for RooTree bags:
• Uses renewable resources: By starting with plants instead of petroleum-based materials, these bags have a smaller carbon footprint.
• Consumes less energy: Manufacturing these bags is less resource-intensive compared to conventional alternatives.
• Promotes a circular system: Once the bag has served its purpose, it can return to the soil, contributing nutrients instead of waste.
The result is packaging that’s fresh for your coffee and kinder to the planet.
Sustainability in Coffee
The coffee industry is known for its global reach, but it also faces environmental challenges. From farming practices to packaging, there are opportunities to make the process greener.
Packaging, in particular, often ends up as waste. RooTree’s compostable bags address this issue by offering a simple, eco-friendly alternative. And while these bags are a great step forward, there’s always room for more sustainable choices—like reusing a container instead of using new packaging at all.
Refill and Save
For those who enjoy minimizing waste, we offer a $2 discount when you bring your own canister or refill an old bag. It’s an easy way to keep your coffee routine simple and sustainable. Plus, it’s nice to have an excuse to use that favorite container sitting at home.
A Fresh Perspective on Packaging
We know that everyone approaches sustainability differently, and that’s why we’re offering a variety of options. Whether you choose RooTree’s compostable bags or decide to skip the bag altogether, the goal is to make choices that work for you while keeping coffee fresh and delicious.
The Future of Coffee at Craft 42
At Craft 42 Roasters, we’re always exploring ways to balance quality and sustainability. Our collaboration with RooTree is part of that effort, and we’re excited to see how these bags—and your refillable canisters—make an impact over time.
So, the next time you stop by, you’ve got options: a fully compostable bag, a reusable container, or a little bit of both. Either way, your coffee will taste as good as ever.
