Since starting CRU Kafe back in 2013, we’ve been committed to running an ethically sustainable business and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint. For us, transparency and communication is a key part of this pledge, so whilst we’ll keep you updated as frequently much as possible, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with any questions or concerns.
Recycling our 100% aluminium pods is as easy as 1, 2, 3....
1. Pierce | With a safe, blunt instrument (such as a butter knife or teaspoon), simply pierce the soft foil of our pods. Warning - our pods get hot, so make sure you give them time to cool. |
2. Scoop | Loosen the coffee grounds and scoop them into your household compost or food waste. |
3. Recycle | Once the grounds are out, simply put your used pods in your household recycling. It's as simple as that |
You might be asking "why aluminium?" Well, funnily enough, we've got a whole blog that should help answer that question for you...
With over 70 million cups of coffee consumed in the United Kingdom every day, there are a lot of used coffee grounds that could be put to further use right in our own homes.
General | Just chuck your spent grounds out with your normal household waste, and you're good to go! |
Face Scrub | Just mix with coconut oil and demerera sugar, and voila! you'll be left looking good - and we imagine smelling good too! |
Deodouriser | Simply pop your spent coffee grounds in a little pot and place in your fridge to help capture all those unwelcome odours and smells. |
Compost | Feed those hungry plants of yours by either adding to your compost heap or placing on top of the soil, which helps keep those pesky little slugs, snails and ants at bay. |
If you're looking to recycle coffee grounds on a large scale, why not visit our friends over at bio-bean?
Designed to be drunk anywhere, anytime, our single-serve coffee bags are perfect for everything from holidays to hotel rooms - and a fantastic edition to our coffee offering!
Bag | Made from sustainable and renewable sources, our coffee bag bio-web can go in your food-waste bin or caddie |
Sleeve | Currently, our sleeves are single-use plastic, and unrecyclable. We're working hard to get a more renewable alternative on the table as soon as possible. |
We're also committed to being single-use plastic free by the end of 2020
