Last year we changed all our coffee cups and lids to compostable, and in June we stopped using oil based plastic carry bags in our stores and changed to bio-degradable carry bags.

We’re pleased to say that from the 1st of October we are taking our commitment a step further:

• All of our takeaway packaging, including straws, containers, serviettes, cutlery, plates and cold beverage cups will be environmentally friendly. Our range of packaging is a mix of compostable, bio-degradable and recyclable products.
• We will stop using single use bio-degradable carry bags in our cafés and instead use paper carry bags that can recycled.
• We’re encouraging customers to only use straws and cup carriers if they need them to minimise waste.

Many of our stores now sell quality re-usable JOCO cups. With every cup purchased you’ll receive a complimentary fill or a complimentary hot beverage voucher to bring back another time.

We’ve also joined the NZ Packaging Forum to help drive more composting and recycling waste collection and processing facilities around New Zealand as there’s currently still a shortage.

We promise we’ll continue to look for more ways to reduce our environmental impact and in the meantime, we hope to see in one of our cafés soon.
