Operating with a view to environmental conscientiousness is far greater than a consideration for us at Wooden Hill, it’s a driving force

From the start of our operation, we’ve looked to embody a wider shift within the industry where environmental action in enterprise is a standard, not an afterthought. And more to this, your ethics have to weave their way into everything you do, so when you take a walk through our processes you’ll see splotches of green laced into each cut of the fabric.

To supply coffee, we’re tasked with getting it from here up at the roastery in Millbrook to our wholesale partners and to a growing pool of home baristas and enthusiasts. Coffee is a natural food product, and, though relatively very shelf stable, calls for air-tight packaging. From the outset, we’ve always looked for solutions for achieving this sustainably.

For our wholesale partners, we supply our coffee in reusable, air-tight, buckets. We blend our beans, bucket them up, seal the lid, and deliver. Upon delivery, we collect the last bucket, give it a good clean, and it re-enters the supply chain for another round. No single-use packaging, no landfill; a clean and conscientious loop that keeps our operation simple and sustainable.

Ultimately, though, between our home users and our wholesale partners, there still exists a need for bagged coffee. So we keep it simple. Our bags can’t be single-use, so we made them compostable. After 90 days in compost our bags break down, leaving no man-made trace behind. Add onto that our plantable seed labels that adorn each 250g unit, and our bags are designed head to toe to give back to the earth.
