Copper Door Coffee is giving its used coffee bags a second life—and this time, it’s beyond the coffee cup. Through an inspiring partnership with Savor Brands, Inc. and their R+R Upcycle Program, the company is closing the loop on coffee packaging waste and turning trash into something seriously useful: construction materials. Yes, really.

What’s the R+R Upcycle Program?

Copper Door Coffee Roasters has joined forces with Savor Brands, Inc. to make their packaging part of the solution—not the problem. Through the R+R (Reprocess and Repurpose) Upcycle Program, used coffee bags are collected and transformed into construction-grade building materials. These materials are made by ByFusion, a company creating ByBlocks—blocks that:
  • Contain 83% fewer carbon emissions than traditional concrete
  • Are strong and durable enough for real construction
  • Speed up building time
  • Help eliminate plastic and packaging waste

How to Take Part

  • Bring your empty coffee bags to any Copper Door Coffee café
