Here are some of the key ingredients for circular economy outcomes: many people, different organisations, shared values, desire for innovation, alignment on risk appetite, patience, and fun. We’re super stoked that Isk from Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) wanted to share the story of our 9-year partnership with Zoos Victoria. We couldn’t have done it without support from Sustainability Victoria and their incredible team. Building a thriving circular economy literally takes a village and how lucky are we that ours include snow leopards and baby giraffes! ✨✨✨✨

What do rising coffee prices have to do with sustainable behaviours at cafes and coffee roasters? A lot, in fact. Dumping coffee in landfill contributes to climate change, making growing conditions unstable and harder for farmers in origin countries and in turn, forcing prices up. Of course, it's a mix of contributing factors - but rest assured, you can play a part in addressing the issue at its core right here at home: don't dump coffee in landfill. CPA Australia did some digging on the entire issue from farm, to roasted bean to disposal of ground coffee. Have a read!

Meet Cindy 🌿 One of the many locals who is turning coffee grounds into something meaningful. Cindy uses coffee from our Reground deliveries to improve soil quality across her property in Eltham. It’s community members like Cindy who remind us that simple, grounded actions can have a lasting impact. We're grateful to support people who put waste to good use in their backyard! #RegroundCommunity #CoffeeToSoil #CircularLiving #WasteToResource #SoilHealth #LocalImpact #EndUser #Community
