Jim's Organic Coffee is Leading the Movement Toward Environmentally Friendly Packaging!

Besides the new packaging and the fact that we are all organic, Jim's Organic Coffee uses 100% renewable energy sources and was one of the first to supply customers with fully compostable Ecotainer cups.

03/09/07 Jim's Organic Coffee, a 100% organic coffee roaster, has unveiled a redesigned package that holds the same interesting, amazing coffee their customers have  come to expect, in an updated design that is bolder, fresher and the first to be  environmentally friendly too!

The new bags are the first sealed coffee bags to use  renewable sources in their composition. With a layer of modified Polylactide  (PLA), which is derived from corn, 19% of its layering is renewable.  Petroleum-based components of the structure are replaced with renewable  resources, which dramatically improve the bag's "green-ness." Jim's  Organic Coffee is proud to be a leader in this first step to responsible packaging.

"This is the first generation of sealed coffee bags to  be made from renewable resources and we are delighted to be the first  roaster to use them. After 15 years in this business, I feel that we  finally have a bag that tells the organic coffee story in a simple way and  offers consumers the transparency they are looking for. We have  accomplished this without changing the overall look and feel of our festive bag that  is associated with our consistently amazing coffee, without losing the  fun edge and without being 'preachy' about the cool things we do to  help farmers and our ecosystem," Jim Cannell says.

Besides the new packaging and the fact that we are  all organic, Jim's Organic Coffee uses 100% renewable energy sources  and was one of the first to supply customers with fully compostable Ecotainer  cups. In order to maintain positive social and ecological impact, Jim's  supports specific projects in coffee growing regions by offering fair wages  for workers,buying shade grown coffee, which provides bird habitat, and supporting organic agriculture that sustains vital ecosystems.
