Who’d Have Thought - Edible Coffee Cups Recently I’ve been working on Ian Macleod Distillers ESG report and, being in a ‘sustainable’ frame of mind, my interest was piqued by Cupffee’s stand at this month’s Restaurant & Takeaway Innovation Export Show at Excel. Their cups are edible, don’t change the taste of the coffee, are leak-proof and thermos-resistant, low in calories, and crunchy to boot. When every sustainable initiative is a step (or sip) in the right direction, it seems to me that Cupffee’s solution, manufactured in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is a great idea. #sustainablepackaging #ediblepackaging

Raising the Bar: How Avallen Spirits | BCorp Leads the Way in Eco-Friendly Liquor Liquor/spirits are among those food products that are challenging to make sustainable due to the inherent nature of their production, distribution, and packaging processes. However, Avallen Calvados demonstrates that sustainability is not only achievable but is also the preferred direction for the foreseeable future. Avallen which called themselves a ‘planet positive’ spirit is a brandy-like tipple and is made from just three things: apples, water and time. Co-founder Tim Etherington-Judge says since 2019, they have been applying innovative, sustainable methods to make their award-winning spirit brand sustainable from blossom to bottling.

Great to walk the Gastvrij Rotterdam show. Much smaller than some of the shows I have been to in the US, but a great show with quality vendors that is really inviting for good conversations and networking. It is clear that sustainability and impact are major drivers here. Companies are born out of a desire to create impact, it's not an afterthought. Consumers demand it and it's great to see companies present that really embody the triple bottom line; Profit, People, Planet (and not necessarily in that order...). I picked three companies that really stood out to me: Brute Bonen - DELICIOUS coffee from beans grown in the forrest versus on large mono-culture farms. Each cup cup of coffee has a negative carbon footprint (that's a good thing!). Direct lines to the farmers ensure fair wages and knowing the source. Roasting is done in cycles and based on demand, so no waste and always fresh beans that go in bags made of FSC paper and nonGMO corn. And so on... Bio Bakkerij De Trog - A Belgian artisanal bakery that has been around since 1970. Organic bread made of the best ingredients in a certified CO2 neutral business. They are passionate about their Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) that are part of every facet of their business. This is clearly visible in their respect for the process, the environment and their people. The Seaweed Company - A vertically integrated seaweed company that won the 2023 Sustainable Food Award in the Ingredient category. Seaweed not only reduces CO2 and increases biodiversity in the coastal systems, it also provides a healthy food option. Their SeaMeat can replace 25%of meat in applications such as burgers and sausages while maintaining structure, flavor and mouthfeel. That's a win-win! #food #impact #sustainability #coffee #bread #seaweed #operations #consulting #organic #internationalbusiness #US #EU
