Sustainability

We love plants

Wētā are herbivores and we love plants too. Our cutting-edge Ecoware coffee cups and lids are plant-based and compostable, limiting our impact on the environment. Or how about grabbing one of our planet-saving Wētā Coffee Bullet cups? They’re a stylish and reusable cup for coffee-on-the-go created with sustainability in mind.

We compost

Wētā love to make their home in logs and are one of nature’s composters, so we like to follow their lead. You can return your disposable cups to us for composting or pop them into your home compost. Our organic waste, made up of cups, lids, coffee chaff and grounds, is collected weekly by Reclaim in Penrose, where it is returned to soil enriching, organic matter.

We recycle

Wētā Coffee is proud to offer an innovative recycling solution for our coffee bags.  Place your empty packaging in our TerraCycle® Zero Waste Box™ at any Wētā Coffee store.  When full, the boxes will be sent to TerraCycle for recycling. The box, liner, and all accepted waste will be recycled into raw materials used to make new products.  Ask us about options to return your coffee bags from online orders.

We give back to the Earth

Your Wētā coffee purchase contributes to the planting of native trees throughout Aotearoa, through our proud sponsorship of Trees for Survival.

Trees for Survival works with thousands of Kiwi kids and their communities to grow, nurture and plant over 120,000 native trees each year along streams, erosion prone hillsides and retired farmland. This develops an enduring respect, through knowledge and understanding of the importance of native trees to our environment, and helps communities and nature thrive.
