Coffee Kreis

🌍 "Oh well, it's just one disposable coffee cup. Said 8 billion people." ☕️ Imagine the impact of millions of single-use plastic items being tossed daily —like coffee cups, straws, and bottles. While one might seem insignificant, multiply it by 8 billion and the environmental toll is staggering. ✅ Switching to reusable cups doesn’t just reduce waste—it conserves resources, cuts down on pollution, and helps protect wildlife. 💚 Small steps matter. By making simple changes— like bringing your own reusable cup— we can collectively reduce plastic waste and create a cleaner, more sustainable planet for future generations. 🌱 #disposable #singleuse #reusable #plastic #plasticwaste #green #environment #sustainable #planet #future #coffee #cup #coffeecup #disposablecup #plasticcup #plasticwaste #waste

☕ Coffee is Officially a Healthy Beverage: A Historic Recognition 🥳 The National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia enthusiastically celebrates the recent announcement by the U.S. FDA, which for the first time in history has officially recognized coffee as a healthy food. This decision, based on rigorous scientific studies, marks a significant milestone for the coffee industry and puts an end to decades of misconceptions about the potential health effects of coffee. This recognition comes at a crucial moment when consumers, especially younger generations, are increasingly focused on living healthier lifestyles. With this endorsement, we hope that coffee consumption will continue to grow both in the United States, the main destination for Colombian coffee, and around the world.

🌍Transitioning to a circular economy is impossible! 🥳Not really, but it comes with its own challenges. One of the big hurdles? The cost of sustainable materials. Compared to something like polypropylene, which is cheap and easy to source, eco-friendly alternatives can be significantly more expensive. 💸 This makes it harder for businesses to fully embrace circular models without a financial strain. While the shift is tough, it's crucial for our future, and it starts with finding ways to make these solutions more affordable and scalable. 🌱✨ At Coffee Kreis we have the same challenges, how can we make an affordable and wonderful product for our people and environment? We've cracked the code (at least think so) for some part, but there is much more to work on, as we scale up!

☕️🌱 5 Creative Ways to Recycle Coffee Grounds and Their Benefits 🌱☕️ Coffee grounds are often tossed out, but they can be repurposed in various eco-friendly ways! Here are 5 ideas to recycle coffee grounds: 🌱Natural Fertilizer – Rich in nitrogen, coffee grounds make an excellent addition to compost or as a direct fertilizer for your garden. 💩 Odor Neutralizer – Coffee grounds absorb unpleasant smells, helping to freshen up your fridge, shoes, or even your car. 🙉 Exfoliating Scrub – The gritty texture makes coffee grounds a natural exfoliant for skincare, helping remove dead skin cells. 🦡 Pest Repellent – Sprinkle coffee grounds around your garden to keep ants, snails, and slugs at bay. ☕ Sustainable Products – At Coffee Kreis we recycle used coffee grounds and transform then into compostable, reusable and sustainable everyday products, reducing waste and promoting sustainability. 💚 Let's give coffee a second life together. #ecofriendly #coffee #coffeelover #circulareconomy #circularity #eco #green #greenproducts #sustainability #sustainable #compostable #reusable #recycle #waste #wastefree #ocean #noplastics #plasticfree

🇨🇴 ☕️ 2024 Coffee Prices in Colombia at Historic Highs 📈 2024 has been a year of remarkable price movements in the coffee industry, with Colombia seeing some of the highest prices in recent memory. What’s behind this surge? 🌎Global Commodity Markets: The price of coffee has been significantly influenced by jitters in the global commodity markets, fueled by disappointing harvests in key producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam. 📈 New Record Highs: Coffee has surged to its highest level in over 50 years on the New York Stock Exchange, a sign of the growing volatility and demand in the global coffee trade. 📊Historic All-Time High: In December 2024, coffee prices hit an all-time high of $349.58 per pound, a milestone that has caught the attention of coffee producers and consumers alike. 🚀Here’s a snapshot of recent prices in Colombia as of December 6, 2024: Domestic Reference Price: COP 2.860.000 Low-Grade Coffee Price: COP 37.500 NYKC Price: ¢/lb 330.25 Exchange Rate: COP 4.407,44 For coffee farmers in Colombia, this is both an opportunity and a challenge —higher prices can provide some relief, but the volatility also creates uncertainty. The question remains: Will these record highs continue, or will the market stabilize in 2025? ☕️🌍 #CoffeeIndustry #CoffeePrices #GlobalEconomy #ColombianCoffee #Sustainability #CommodityMarkets #2024 #coffee #colombia #prices #coffeelovers #juanvaldez #federaciondecafe #sustainable #circulareconomy National Federation of Colombian Coffee Growers

🙀 We couldn't help but be drawn to this powerful sign at the San Francisco Coffee Festival. Did you know that by switching to a single reusable cup, you can save: ♻️ 87.6lbs of greenhouse gas emissions ♻️ 76 gallons of water ♻️ 126 trees 🥤 And that's just for one cup! 🗑️ The average American generates about 4.9 lbs of waste per day, which adds up quickly. 🏤 Now, imagine the impact of a simple change at an event with 10,000+ attendees. The difference could be enormous! But here's where it gets even more exciting—what if that cup was made from coffee waste? And after years of use, it could be composted. 🚀 Now, that's a game-changer. ☕ And it’s exactly why Coffee Kreis exists—to make sustainability part of every coffee moment. #events #landfills #sustainability #circularity #circulareconomy #plastics #plasticwaste #waste #reduce #recycle #compost #coffeelovers #coffee #sanfrancisco #coffeefest #coffeefestival

🌍 The Shopping Conspiracy on Netflix🌍 Have you watched it ❓ A documentary showing how brands manipulate emotions to fuel endless consumption. It made us think about the environmental impact of this cycle. The truth is clear: overconsumption creates waste, much of which has no sustainable destination. This is where Coffee Kreis steps in. Instead of following the linear model (buy, use, discard), we adopt a circular one: 🔄 We take coffee waste, that would otherwise pollute the environment. 🔄 We transform it into reusable and compostable products like coffee cups—reducing the need for single-use. 💡 A New Perspective: While many companies push for more consumption, we at Coffee Kreis focus on creating products that add sustainable value. Our goal is to help build a regenerative economy where waste is treated as a resource. 📈 The future of consumption should ask: • Do we really need as much as we think? • Can we choose products that close the waste loop? • How can our choices drive a more sustainable future? The circular economy is not just a model; it’s a way to fight the consumer conspiracy and build a world where consumption helps regenerate the planet. 💬 How can we, from our industries, drive real change? #sustainable #circulareconomy #innovation #startups #coffee #coffeewaste #kreis #circular #circularity #plastics #plasticwaste #landfills #pollution #discard #reusable #reuse #recycle #consumer #shopping #conspiracy https://lnkd.in/gSdjKdk6

🔥 Starbucks promotes a culture of sustainability?... Starbucks encourages customers to recycle their cups. But here’s the reality: many of those plastic cups still end up in the trash. It’s a reminder that environmental responsibility extends beyond messaging —it’s about systemic changes that make a real impact. How can we push for more effective practices and transparent communication to create a truly circular economy?

🌍 Over 170 nations recently gathered to negotiate a groundbreaking UN treaty aimed at tackling plastic pollution, a crisis that affects every corner of our planet. Yet, despite the urgency, the talks ended in a deadlock. ❓ Why is it so hard to find common ground on an issue that impacts all of us? The reality is, addressing plastic pollution involves complex economic, environmental, and political challenges. Countries have different priorities, resources, and levels of responsibility. Bridging those gaps is no easy feat, but it’s necessary if we want to protect our environment and future generations. As the world debates the way forward, it’s clear that we need stronger commitment, clearer collaboration, and a renewed sense of urgency. Plastic pollution is not just an environmental issue— it’s a human issue, and we can’t afford to delay action. What are your thoughts on the path forward? Can we find common ground before it's too late? 🌱 United Nations #plastic #pollution #nations #busan #southkorea #UN #UNtreaty #waste #climatechange #plasticpollution #plastictreaty #circulareconomy #sustainability
