The Real Cost of Your Coffee

For many businesses, sustainability is just a buzz word that sounds good thrown together with other things that people seem to care about. For us, it is something that factors into every decision that we make.

One of our partnerships that we are especially proud of is with I Am Not Paper, our paper goods supplier (or should that be Not Paper goods).

 It is a known fact that your regular takeaway coffee cup is horrendous for the environment because it won’t break down in regular landfill due to plastic being used in the lid and to line the cup to prevent seepage, and Australia throws out over 1 billion of these a year!

Keeping this in mind, we decided to use a type of cup that is more kind to the environment. The takeaway cup that is made at I Am Not Paper is 100% made of plant pulp and decomposes once it’s disposed of and has zero chemicals or toxic inks.

Every business has the choice to do the right thing for the environment and we take that responsibility seriously.

Of course we still encourage and prefer reusable cups but you don’t have to feel bad coming to Small Axe to get your coffee fix if you forget yours once in a while!
