What they say about themselves

Recyclable packagingno register to check it against

“New mono-material packaging that is fully recyclable As part of this development, we are transitioning to new coffee packaging made from mono-material and fully recyclable.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims this roaster makes on its own website and we have checked none of them. The sourcing and packaging ones are about the business rather than any particular bag, so they are never applied to an individual coffee. The delivery total is the exception: it is quoted on each of their coffees, because what you pay to have a bag sent to you is part of what the bag costs.
