Java Love Coffee Roasting Co. is committed to Coffee with Integrity. This means we only use the very best Organic, Fair Trade, Naturally Farmed and Rainforest Alliance coffee beans, produced with respect for the environment and the farmers. We roast all our coffee in small batches to maintain the character of the beans and have them bagged and ready for you to enjoy in a few days -- not weeks or months. We focus on having as little environmental impact as possible, so we use compostable service items and recycle up to 95% of waste. Also, as part our commitment to our communities, we donate a portion of our profits to local nonprofit and community outreach programs.

Waste
Waste Reduction
Description of Action: 
We offer a discount for customers who bring in their own mugs/thermoses and expanded our line of travel mugs. On average, we save 10,000 cups and lids a year by offering this incentive. We have transition from plastic straws to paper and compostable straws, and we no longer offer plastic cutlery and instead provide bamboo utensils. Additionally we have a mason jar program, where customers who buy a Java Love reusable mason jar or bring their own container for coffee beans, get a pound of coffee for the price of a 12 oz. bag.

Waste Reuse
Description of Action: 
We reduce, reuse, and recycle our waste in that order. We are constantly thinking of ways in which we can give new life to "waste" that would otherwise end up in a landfill. We have made chairs, cosmetic bags, purses, art pieces, hot cup sleeves, and pillows with the simple burlap bags we receive the coffee in. We reuse cardboard boxes for shipping and transporting merchandise before recycling them. We recycle all plastic and paper products. Lbs Saved: 2,500 Money Saved: 1,500

In the past we have worked with a local soap-maker to produce a coffee based soap. Artisans who source local materials greatly reduce the demand for fossil fuels.
