Impact: Why Eco-Friendly Coffee Filters?

Responsible Forest Management

Each year illegal logging and land clearance destroys 30 million acres of natural forests. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) uses a  rigorous certification system of forests and forest products in order to promote responsible forest management. These filters are made from FSC certified paper.

Why Compost?

The ~80 million tons of waste that goes into US landfills annually is material that could be turned into compost. (Source US EPA). In landfills, this organic material releases methane – a powerful greenhouse gas contributing to global warming. Composting your coffee grounds and filters helps divert food scraps from landfills and turns it into healthy matter for future agricultural projects.

The Case for Totally Chlorine-Free

Since no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used to produce these filters, no chlorine or chlorine derivatives are dumped into our lakes, rivers, or streams.
