Milestone for Löfbergs: Started roasting coffee with fossil-free bioLPG

The roasting process has been one of the great sustainability challenges for the coffee group Löfbergs for a long time. Now, the family-owned coffee roaster has found a solution. The company started roasting with 100% fossil-free bioLPG at its facility in Karlstad, Sweden, last week, which significantly reduces Löfbergs’s climate impact.

The first circular coffee station is already set up at the Lilla ICA Lindvallen supermarket in Sälen, Sweden, and more are underway.
