How to Recycle Your Coffee Bag

Quick answer for Invernesians - The Big Tesco :)

The longer answer-

At Inverness Coffee Roasting, we believe that great coffee should come with thoughtful choices about the environment. That includes considering what happens to our packaging once you’ve enjoyed your coffee.

Our coffee bags are made from a combination of PE (polyethylene) and EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol). These materials help protect the freshness and flavour of your coffee by providing a barrier against oxygen.

Can I recycle my coffee bag?

Yes, potentially — through a suitable soft-plastics recycling collection. However, recycling facilities vary, and not every collection point accepts every type of coffee bag.

Our bags use a multilayer structure of PE60, EVOH and PE80. Although polyethylene is widely used in recyclable plastic packaging, the EVOH barrier and the construction of the complete bag can affect whether it is accepted for recycling.

How to recycle your empty coffee bag

1. Empty the bag

Make sure all the coffee grounds have been removed. Give the bag a good shake to remove any remaining grounds.

2. Keep it clean and dry

The bag should be as clean and dry as possible. There is no need to wash it if shaking out the remaining coffee is sufficient.

3. Find a suitable recycling point

Check whether your local supermarket’s soft-plastics collection accepts coffee pouches of this type. Acceptance varies, so check the collection point’s guidance before depositing your bag.

You can use the Recycle Now recycling locator to find local options.

4. Check before putting it in your household recycling

Do not assume that the bag can go into your kerbside recycling bin. Flexible plastic packaging is not accepted by every local authority, and specialist collection may be required.

If you cannot find a suitable recycling route, follow your local council’s disposal guidance.

Why do our coffee bags use these materials?

Coffee is sensitive to oxygen, and packaging plays an important role in protecting its aroma and flavour. The polyethylene layers provide the structure and sealing properties of the bag, while EVOH helps provide an oxygen barrier.

Our aim is to balance the need to protect the quality of our freshly roasted coffee with the importance of making responsible packaging choices.

Better choices start with all of us

Recycling is one part of reducing packaging waste. Using packaging thoughtfully, disposing of it correctly and supporting improvements in recycling infrastructure all matter.

Thank you for choosing Inverness Coffee Roasting and for helping us make more considered choices, one cup at a time.

Freshly roasted coffee. Thoughtful choices. Profit with Honor.
