Eco-Friendly Packaging Options for Coffee Lovers: Iluminar's Overhaul

Hey y’all, Grace here! At Iluminar, we believe that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. And with our Eco Overhaul, we are taking a big step forward in making specialty coffee more sustainable for everyone.

As coffee lovers, we know that every customer has different sustainability needs. That's why we're excited to introduce our new Packaging Options, which allow customers to choose the option that best fits their needs.

With 100% Recyclable Mailer w/Compostable labels, customers can choose a completely recyclable option that also includes compostable labels. This option includes a reused burlap coffee bag as filler, which is natural and biodegradable, as well as a 100% consumer recyclable coffee bag and a recyclable packaging band.

For customers who prefer a 100% compostable option, we offer a 100% Compostable Packaging option. This includes a consumer compostable mailer, consumer compostable labels, coffee packaged in a consumer compostable zip-lock, and a reused burlap coffee bag as filler.

And for those who want to take their sustainability a step further, we offer a Reusable Mailer w/pre-printed return label. This option includes consumer compostable labels, coffee packaged in a consumer compostable zip-lock, and a reused burlap coffee bag as filler.

With a year of data under our belt, our sliding scale model has proven to be effective, with 70% of customers choosing the mid-range, standard option, 15% choosing the at cost option, and 15% choosing the top options. And with the introduction of our Packaging Options, we're making it easier than ever for customers to choose the sustainability option that works best for them.

At Iluminar, we're committed to making specialty coffee more sustainable for everyone. And with our Eco Overhaul and Packaging Options, we're taking another step towards that goal. So go ahead, choose your sustainability option and enjoy a delicious cup of specialty coffee, knowing that you're helping to make a difference in the world.
