Recycling
For our coffee bags, we’ve chosen mono material LDPE (no. 4 coded)
If you save up a handful of empty coffee bags, send us a message at hello@albumcoffee.com and we will email you a pre-paid postage label to return them to us. We’ll make sure they get recycled properly, we are building a plastics upcycling process to turn them into something awesome.
Otherwise, you can remove the labels and then return them to larger supermarkets along with shopping bags and other number 2 and 4 coded films.
After a period of careful research, the material we have chosen is currently our best, most practical option for keeping your coffee fresh with high barrier to moisture and oxygen along with potential for effective waste management.
We are keeping an ear to the ground for new, innovative solutions and materials. Please reach out to us if you'd like to discuss or have new solutions you've found!
