Just Helpers Cleaning Agency’s Post

It's #NationalPizzaMonth! To celebrate sustainably, we'd like to remind everyone that, contrary to some misconceptions, used pizza boxes are #recyclable! So, you can order your favorite pie guilt-free, knowing that its box is going back into the circular loop of #corrugated materials. Read on about the recyclability of pizza boxes in this Fibre Box Association article: https://bit.ly/3ZfYXBd #sustainablepackaging

It's a "double-double" win for the environment and your morning routine! No more confusion about where to toss your used coffee cups. Effective this July, you can now recycle both hot and cold paper-based and plastic-lined beverage cups. Just remember to rinse your cups, remove lids and sleeves, and toss them separately in the blue bin. Let's brew up some positive change together! #Recycle #TorontoRecycles #Sustainability #TimHortons https://lnkd.in/g4-Yv4MK

You know, coffee-cup lids are a thing of the past, don’t you? Think what that could save you as a food + beverage brand. storage space, freight costs, plastic pollution, and stressed customers when the lids don’t work. Imagine, a built-in lid, three folding flaps, and a spout. Simple. It took us four years to design the SOFI Hot Cup. My brother Jordan and I agonized over every fold so that you can provide a leak-resistant, lidless, guilt-free hot cup. One Canadian coffee shop just eliminated 70,000 plastic cups + lids in 6 just months by switching to the SOFI hot cup. You could be next?

Happy International Coffee Day, coffee lovers! 🌍☕ Today, let's talk about how to properly dispose of our favorite coffee-related items to help keep our planet clean and green. What Goes Where? Trash Cart 🚮 *Single-serve coffee pods, disks, or pouches *Glass or plastic coffee pots/carafes *Coffee grounds or filters (better yet, compost these!) Recycling Cart ♻️ *Paper coffee cups (lids, straws, and stir sticks go in the trash) *Metal coffee cans *Coffee makers (small appliances, no larger than a basketball) Let's make every cup count by disposing of our coffee items responsibly. Share this post to spread the word and celebrate sustainably! #InternationalCoffeeDay #Sustainability #Recycle #Compost #CoffeeLovers #EcoFriendly

Q: What do the below phrases have in common? - "The coffee industry will NEVER switch from clear plastic cups for iced coffee" - "The coffee consumer NEEDS to see their cold beverages" - "TJ, you are CRAZY" A: All phrases I hear on repeat when trying to introduce sustainable alternatives to the coffee industry😅 I applaud Commonplace Coffee for not only being forward THINKING, but being the first to ACT … we need leaders to help break industry habits!  👏 It is not easy, but it only takes a spark 🔥 #FirstToMarket #Sustainability 🌍 *I encourage you to check out Commonplace's IG post, to see THE CONSUMERS RESPONSE 😎 ❤️

While many of us do our best to bring a reusable coffee cup to work, we can forget from time to time. 🙃 So if, on the rare occasion, you're ordering a coffee that comes in a cup destined for the bin, remember to throw it out correctly 💪 Coffee cup lids are recyclable, however most coffee cups in Australia are not designed to be recycled. Be sure to check the label on the side of the cup for directions ☕ The best thing you can do is keep a reusable cup at work. You only need to use it 17 times to offset the energy used to make it 💪 #QueenslandEnvironment

You may not know, but Alexis and I are very passionate about our personal #sustainability. 🌎🌊🌴☀️ Here are a few #easy steps you can take to commit to #reducing #plastic use. Which #tip do you find the most #impactful in your day-to-day? 1️⃣ Take your own cup to opt out of #single-use coffee ☕️ cups. 2️⃣ Carry a refillable water💧bottle to avoid plastic bottles. 3️⃣ Swap liquid soap 🧼 for bar soap. 4️⃣ Use your own reusable bags when shopping. (I usually just tell the clerk I’m using my “hand 🤲🏻 bags” 🙃) 5️⃣ Pack lunches 🥙 without plastic wrap. 6️⃣ Avoid pre-packed fruit 🍉 and vegetables.

Did you know that paper cups are not so "innocent" after all?  The use of polyethylene is necessary to keep our hands from burning when we hold the paper cup, but is there a better choice to paper cups?  Reusable coffee mugs are the perfect solution, since you get a discount on many coffee shops if you give your own reusable cup, and at the same time they are also environmentally friendly.  Reusable coffee cups, besides being practical, they also save 🌳🌲 trees... lots of trees (20 million trees are cut down every year just to make paper cups)... What does this mean? More oxygen... More nature... More life 💚 🌍♻️ #Re4Earth #recycle #ReuseReduseRecyle #ecofriendlyliving  #reuse #reduse #recyle #lesswaste #ecofriendly #zerowaste

Allpress Espresso has rescued over 930,000 lattes from landfill! 🤯 We are so proud to see our partners having such a MASSIVE impact 🙌 Allpress Espresso have taken their dedication to resource recovery a step further by partnering with us on our Circular Coffee initiative. We know where our coffee comes from, but how many of us are conscious of where it ends up? Historically, ground coffee has been sent to landfill - releasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Our model brings coffee from farm, to cup, back to farm. Ground coffee is collected directly from cafes and delivered free of charge to home, community and school gardens where the grounds are used to help soil flourish. A truly circular solution! Circular Coffee holds roasters accountable for the end-to-end care of their product, giving customers full transparency on the journey of their daily cup of coffee. Getting sustainable and free ground coffee collection as a cafe (just like Pausa Pranzo who are pictured) is now possible through Allpress Espresso  ✨ #CircularCoffee #SustainabilityPartnership #CircularEconomy

Driving sustainable development requires a multifaceted approach - one that starts with educating communities and investing in new avenues of thought and innovation!
