giving burlap & plastic waste another lap
The Problem
An OVERLOOKED waste stream
Every coffee roaster receives their green coffee (unroasted) in large burlap bags with an interior plastic liner bag.
The plastic liner is the first to be sent to landfills. Recycling is possible, but often unsuccessful or too tedious and costly. Then goes the burlap.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of solutions, the majority of plastic and burlap from the roasting industry ends up meeting their fate in landfills
