According to the British Coffee Association, in the UK we drink 95 million cups of coffee per day. But where itâs sourced, how itâs produced and what to do with all the packaging and product afterwards is important for consumers to understand. With the BCA aiming for zero-waste packaging by 2025, here are some ethical coffee brands you can get on board with now. Plus, some good advice on how to use your coffee grounds afterwards.
Best Ethical Coffee Brands
1. Rave Coffee
As temperatures rise, growing coffee has become harder and higher altitudes (with lower temperatures) are being sought to grow beans effectively. Rave coffee is grown at altitudes of 2,000-2,100 metres, by the smallholders of Villamaria, Colombia, who are using new processing methods, designed to reduce the need for huge quantities of water and ensure their own economic survival. Through 1% for the Planet, Rave also one per cent of all sales to environmental causes, regardless of profit.
