Sustainable Packaging: Blommers’ Greener Choice for Coffee Bags

At Blommers, sustainability is woven into every part of our coffee journey, from the farms we source from to the packaging that delivers each cup to your home. Our packaging, crafted with post-consumer recycled (PCR) laminate, reflects our values of environmental responsibility and circularity. By choosing PCR materials, we are actively reducing our reliance on virgin petrochemical resources—decreasing this dependence by a remarkable 80%.

Minimizing Our Environmental Impact

Our shift to PCR packaging has made a measurable difference. In just six months, we’ve reduced our carbon footprint by 1,722 kg CO₂. To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of the carbon held in 33,600 party balloons—an impact made possible by turning waste into a reusable resource. By repurposing plastic, we not only conserve resources but also contribute to cleaner oceans, minimizing the amount of plastic that could otherwise pollute marine ecosystems.

Transparent Impact Reporting

Our environmental impact isn’t just a feel-good statement; it’s data-backed. Using Grounded’s Impact Calculator, which analyzes over 60,000 supply chain data points, we track our carbon footprint with precision. Here’s a breakdown of the environmental savings:

• Raw Materials Footprint: 431 kg CO₂
• Production Footprint: 822 kg CO₂
• Logistics Footprint: 469 kg CO₂
  
  

Carbon Offsetting for a Net-Zero Footprint

To further offset emissions, we invest in verified carbon credits that support impactful projects, including kelp and mangrove reforestation. These initiatives help absorb atmospheric carbon and enhance biodiversity, reinforcing our commitment to meaningful environmental action. Our offsetting approach is both specific and rigorous, with each project chosen for its high effectiveness in reducing CO₂ emissions.

Sustainability in Every Bag

Our packaging design, thoughtfully created by Studio Another Day, features a leaf motif—symbolising our deep respect for nature and our dedication to responsible sourcing. Each bag represents a step toward a more sustainable coffee industry, with transparency and integrity at its core.

In every cup you drink from Blommers, you’re supporting a vision of coffee that respects the people and planet. Our packaging is just one part of a larger mission to make a real difference—one that extends beyond coffee and touches every aspect of our operations.
