Great success for rescued coffee – Circle K and Löfbergs widen their cooperation against food waste

Since 80-90% of the climate effects of coffee occur in the coffee growing countries, it is valuable to minimize waste of the finished product. Löfbergs and Circle K’s new sustainability project Rescued Coffee was born from that insight; a coffee that otherwise would risk being wasted at the roasting house. After a successful pre-test, the coffee is now being launched on a wide front in Sweden.

“Instead of cutting a ribbon, we choose to plant a tree, an oak that can grow together with the family and the company. A warm greeting to former and future generations from us in the 3rd, 4th and 5th generation,” says Katherine Löfberg.
