Climate Cup™
Climate Cup™ by The Freshly Roasted Coffee Co. is a zero waste coffee solution that provides you with great tasting coffee on demand in a single cup. We have developed our single cup coffee system to use zero plastic, zero foil and zero bio-plastics. We match up your favourite Climate Cup coffee with our perfect single cup machine to give you a great cup of coffee each and every time.
While other companies have developed alternatives to the popular single cup plastic cartridges, we wanted to take this to the most environmentally friendly place possible. We’ve reduced it to just paper and coffee. Finally start enjoying a great cup of coffee without having any guilt about hurting our planet.

Environmental basics dictate that we should follow the three “R’s”. Climate Cup has been developed with these principles in mind.
Climate Cup uses much less packaging material per pound of coffee than any other single cup coffee system available on the market today. This represents a huge reduction in the conversion of natural resources that would have been used in packaging; keeping those resources where they belong – in nature.
Once the Climate Cup has been used to brew a delicious premium coffee for your enjoyment, its usefulness has not ended. The spent coffee and paper filter are one of the best materials available for composting, in both municipal and residential sites. Where municipal composting is available, Climate Cup spent coffees are always accepted – no questions asked. And if you are a backyard gardener with a composter, you will find they are an ideal addition to the mix of biomass necessary for rich black earth.
Recycling takes energy to convert used material into new material. While the energy used is less than what is required to take virgin raw material and convert it to finished product the fact remains energy must be applied in any recycling operation. The Climate Cup bags are made with a special material designed to preserve the freshness of the product while closed but also to biodegrade once discarded. Typical packaging material worthy of preserving freshness usually comes with a cost to the environment in the sense that they are not easily recyclable nor biodegradable. Climate Cup bags are both. The structure of the material has been designed to break down into carbon and hydrogen leaving no residue of the original packaging over a period of about 5 years in a municipal waste facility. No energy is applied during this process, just the workings of moisture and Mother Nature.
If you are concerned about preserving our environment for generations to come, making the right choices in every day decisions will have a positive impact on how we will live tomorrow.
