With a push to do something about climate change, consumers increasingly say they want brands that embrace purpose and sustainability.

But, there remains a frustrating paradox at the heart of green business, in that few people put the work in to source environmentally friendly products.

There are a number of reasons why this is the case, but the most prevalent one seems to be ‘cost’ and ‘convenience’, and often the convenient route is not the most environmentally friendly one.

Take coffee pods, for example – and I’m going to put myself in the stocks, here.

Despite the recycling bag that comes with the pods that I used to use at home, the total number of times that I actually returned it to the distributor for recycling was a pathetic…zero.

Then there are coffee beans, which seem to be a better option if you want to ditch the pods, but often come in a bag that either has a foil or non-recyclable plastic lining to keep things fresh.

Are we doomed to a side of guilt with our morning caffeine fix?

Not necessarily, because more and more local coffee makers, like Terbodore Coffee Roasters, are moving to make the packaging that they use eco-friendly.

They’ve recently released a new range of 100% plant-based recyclable packaging.

The range includes decadent flavours like English Toffee and Moca Java, for those who want to try something different.

Traditionalists will love the Uganda Bugisu Organic blend, and of course, their ever-popular signature blend, The Great Dane:

You can take that glowing feeling of doing something good for the planet a step further with their Revival blend, which not only comes in recyclable packaging, but a percentage of your purchase will be donated to local community initiatives.

If beans aren’t your thing, Terbodore also has you covered on that front.

Terbodore coffee pods are 100% biodegradable, biobased, and guaranteed to degrade in 14 to 16 weeks. They’re also working with 4WKS pods as one of their coffee roasters.

The packaging is pretty easy on the eyes as well:

The average pod can take up to 300 years to degrade, so this is revolutionary.

If you like to swap out a steaming cup of coffee for a cold brew in the summer months, Terbodore’s cold brew range now comes in cans, which, as you know, are also recyclable.

It should be obvious by now that the company is pulling out all the stops to play their part in saving the environment.

They’re also making it super easy for you to do the same, without breaking the bank. In fact, their pods and beans come in at roughly the same price, or lower, than other premium brands that I’ve tried over the years, but without the guilt of clogging up landfills every time I brew a cup.

If you want to stock up on Terbodore coffee, pods, beans or cold brew, check out their website, and have it delivered to your door.

It’s not often that the convenient option is also an environmentally conscious one.

And that, friends, is priceless.
