Keep Coffee Fresh, Keep Bags Moving, R+R Program

Savor Brands invites every customer to join the R+R® team through our Upcycle Me program. We provide complimentary coffee bag upcycling support with simple return boxes that make it easy to collect and send back used coffee bags. This post explains how the program works, who can join, and what you need to get started.

What Is Upcycle Me?

Upcycle Me is a take back program for Savor Brands customers. You collect your used coffee bags in our return boxes, then send them in for responsible upcycling. It is designed to help roasters, cafes, and grocery partners reduce waste without adding hassle to daily operations.

Who Can Join?

Any Savor Brands customer can participate. Whether you run a small roasting studio, a multi location cafe, or a retail program, you are welcome to join the R+R® Program.

How It Works:

  • Request for R+R® boxes during your bag order
  • Set up the box in a back room or near the register
  • Encourage staff and customers to drop in empty coffee bags
  • Seal and return the full box using the included directions
  • We handle the upcycling process and all the logistics

What To Collect?

  • Empty coffee bags from your Savor Brands order
  • Clean and dry bags only
  • Remove leftover beans and loose grounds before dropping in the box
