A coffee pod refill and exchange service has been launched in Melbourne targeting workplace coffee-related waste. Businesses across the city will now have access to Crema Joe’s freshly roasted coffee packed in reusable stainless-steel capsules, delivered directly to the office.
Each week, pods will be collected, replaced, and reused/repurposed for future use. Even the coffee grounds will be dealt with, being reused in garden fertiliser or turned into beauty products.
“We see it as our responsibility to leave the planet in better shape for future generations, and educating our community about the importance of reducing consumption is key,” said Crema Joe’s founder Kayla Mossuto. “Not only is recycling an energy-intensive exercise, due to the recycling crisis, sadly, many materials aren’t being recycled at all and are, instead, being diverted to landfill.”
Crema Joe’s subscription-based pod refill service, Supply & Exchange, is the first of its kind worldwide.
“The situation is alarming, and we need to look at making changes to our habits if we want to make a positive impact,” said Mossuto.
