Repurpose and Reprocess: R+R® Upcycle Program
The R+R® Program (Repurpose and Reprocess Program) helps roasters and cafes who are invested in protecting their coffee’s journey through the supply chain by preserving the freshness of their products through the lens of sustainability. High barrier packaging protects coffee, thus increasing the shelf life and protecting the value chain by eliminating food waste.

R+R® allows cafes and roasters to collect empty coffee packaging in our R+R® boxes, then, through our program, the packaging is then processed and repurposed to other materials like drainage systems. Thus, closing the loop.
With an emphasis on education, the R+R® Program focuses on empowering roasters and cafes to educate their local communities on coffee and sustainability by providing a measurable and traceable repurposed coffee bag solution for their plastic high-barrier packaging.
We value preserving the value chain by providing high quality packaging, and we are committed to sustainability by repurposing, reprocessing, and upcycling.
