Pablo & Rusty’s Coffee Roasters Sustainability Actions

Solar Panel Initiative

Some of our highlights over the past few years include being one of the first coffee roasters in Australia to install rooftop solar panels. Meaning a large percentage of our power usage is drawn directly from our solar system and any leftover is put back into the grid.

BioPak Products

We shifted our single-use cups and lids to BioPak products. We’re also working with local communities to donate coffee chaff, coffee jute bags and grounds to local community gardens and co-ops.

Grounds from brewing saved from landfill

Last year we commercially composted 23 tonnes of coffee grounds as a biproduct of our coffee brewing, diverting it from landfill and repurposing it to improve soil health. These grounds are also collected by our local gardening and permaculture community. They are an excellent source of nitrogen for gardens.

Carbon Offset

We were able to purchase 3,464 verified carbon units to offset our C02 emissions. These were both Australian and international carbon-offsetting initiatives. We partnered with the team at Pangolin Associates who helped us find the best initiatives to support from setting up wind farms to tree planting programs.
