Green Business Policy
Campbell's Coffee & Tea is active in local recycling and waste
reduction efforts.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. The first point in this chain is deliberate.
We take reduction of waste into account in every major business decision. If
we don't produce waste, we will have less to recycle.
As a food service provider, there are many valid concerns about
reuse...think about it. So we rely heavily on our baristas and our customers
to help us in reducing waste first. If you're having your drink at the shop,
please use a ceramic mug...your drink will taste better and we hope you won't
throw it away!
We sell travel mugs, but you can make us very happy by bringing and
using your own. We don't care whose mug we serve your drink in, as long as
it's yours!
Just think, if you are a loyal Campbell's Coffee fan and come by the
drive thru, say, two or three times a week, YOU are producing over 100 waste
items...twice that if you count the lid and three times that if you use a
stirrer or a straw. It's up to YOU to reduce that waste burden on our local
systems. We don't use disposable cups...you do.
We recycle 100% of our coffee grinds, glass, plastics, newspapers,
glossy magazines, cardboard, and packaging materials. And this requires
more effort than you might think. We work with other local business and
non-profits to reduce our waste and boost their existing recycling efforts.
Most of what we recycle cannot be recycled in Covington, so we have to take
it on the road. And we do.
In order to keep our transportation costs (and thus emissions) down,
we "carpool" and take our recycling in conjunction with other shop errands.
Our new advertising campaign is entirely green -- it relies on a bicycle and
100% renewable energy. Buying from local providers also keeps our
carbon footprint small.
We use 100% compostable bags for our coffees when you buy by
the pound (you do need to remove the tin ties). Because we feel strongly
about the fresh roasted difference, we want you to drink your
coffee at its peak flavor. Foil bags are designed mostly to keep moisture out
of your coffee and give you a sense of flavor preservation...but any coffee is
stale (and bitter) after a week or 10 days. The foil is mostly a marketing
gimmick and is not recyclable. If you do keep coffee around for longer than a
week, it should be kept in an air tight container to slow the staling process as
much as possible.
