Brewing Change: How Heart Roasters Turns Coffee Bags into Building Blocks
Heart Roasters isn't just known for great coffee — they're leading a bold charge in sustainability with real-world impact. From transparent trade practices to repurposing their packaging into construction materials, they're showing what it means to think globally and act locally. And Savor Brands is proud to be part of the process that makes it possible.

The Heart of Sustainability

Heart Roasters goes way beyond the cup. Their commitment to sustainability starts with how they source their coffee — using direct trade relationships where producers help set pricing — and extends to how every order is shipped: carbon neutral, every time. But they didn’t stop there. Through a creative partnership with Savor Brands, Heart’s used coffee bags avoid the landfill. Thanks to our R+R Program, customers can drop off their empty bags in dedicated boxes at Heart’s cafés. Those bags are then repurposed into real-world, functional products like:
  • ByBlock® building materials (via ByFusion)
  • Water drainage systems (via HydroBlox)
It’s a closed-loop system that makes sustainability practical and local — exactly how it should be.

Coffee That Cares

Heart Roasters' mission is simple: make exceptional coffee while protecting the planet. And with every R+R drop-off, their community joins them in reducing waste and supporting circular innovation. How it works:
  • Enjoy your Heart Roasters coffee.
  • Bring your empty bag back to the café.
  • Drop it in the R+R bin.
  • Let Savor Brands handle the transformation.
  • What used to be waste is now part of the solution.

Less Waste, More Impact — One Coffee Bag at a Time

The R+R Program was developed by Savor Brands to make sustainable packaging more than just a buzzword. By connecting brands like Heart Roasters with green tech companies like ByFusion and HydroBlox, we’re helping rethink what packaging can be. It’s not just coffee. It’s climate action in every bag.
