Trade your normal coffee pods for these biodegradable coffee capsules and plant a tree

Coffee Planet launched The Plant a Tree Project as part of the Eden Reforestation Project, with sustainability at the heart of the business, this is one of the initiatives Coffee Planet rolled out to improve the effect of coffee on the environment. Through the Eden Reforestation Project, Coffee Planet will plant a tree with every purchase of their new Nespresso compatible, biodegradable capsules on offer. Available online via Coffee Planet, Amazon, Noon and supermarkets across the UAE including Carrefour, Spinneys, Waitrose and Choithrams, the compostable capsules come in four unique blends and origins: Peru Satipo, Italian Dark Roast, French Medium Roast and Brazil Sul de Minas.

Reduce landfill by using spent coffee as a natural alternative to compost 

From ground to garden: if you’re visiting the Coffee Planet café in JVC, grab a bag of the free coffee grounds and utilize in your garden as a natural alternative. Coffee grounds are rich in minerals and nutrients needed for plant‘s growth and a high–quality compost. Coffee doesn’t need to go back into landfill, so why not continue its life circle in the most environmentally friendly way.

Carry a travel cup or tumbler with you

If you can’t live without your daily caffeine fix, it’s time to invest in a travel cup. Skip worrying about if your disposable cup is getting recycled correctly and sport a Coffee Planet travel cup, available at the Coffee Planet café. Whether a reusable tumbler, cup or mug Baristas also tend to agree that travel mugs make your coffee taste better, as well as being environmentally friendly. Importantly though, they ensure your drink of choice stays hotter or colder for longer. 

Swap out plastic bags and pick up a reusable bag for all your groceries

With the new tariff on single-use plastic bags now in force – with the eventual aim to remove from shops, now is the time to trade in your shopper for the re-usable Coffee Planet tote bag. The take-anywhere tote bags are available at the Coffee Planet café and online. Keep one or two in your car to ensure you don’t forget.
