Coffee bag recycling

How to recycle your Modern Standard Coffee Bags

We work with Terracycle to recycle our coffee bags. TerraCycle is an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in recycling typically hard-to-recycle waste.

Until we find a packaging material that can be recycled easily and doesn’t impact the quality and freshness of our coffee, we feel this is the best solution to recycle our coffee packaging.

How it works

  • Collect

    Collect your used Modern Standard coffee bags.

    ** We do not recycle other coffee bags **

  • POST

    Once you have a few, pop them in the post to our roastery.

  • RECYCLE

    Once we have a box full of bags, we ship them to Terracycle for recycling.

  • WHAT HAPPENS

    The collected bags undergo extrusion and pelletisation , and are then moulded into various recycled plastic products.

  • THANKS

    As a thank you, we will send you a code for 10p of your next order for each bag you send back, and refund the cost of posting back the bags.
