The Löfbergs group is working to close the packaging loop and contribute to a circular economy. The family-owned company recently conducted a successful test of producing fully recyclable packages made of 50% bio-based polymers. The new packaging will be used by the Danish brand, Peter Larsen Kaffe, and is approved for recycling in Denmark. It is a truly game changing package.
After 22 years at Löfbergs, of which 12 years as CEO, Lars Appelqvist is moving onto a new job. By the turn of the year, he will take up the position as Executive Vice President for HKScan’s operations in Sweden.

There are many reasons why sustainability work is high on the agenda at Löfbergs Coffee Group. That it permeates everything we do and our entire value chain – from bean to cup. The past year was no exception.

What will the world look like in 2030, and how will new impetus and trends affect the companies’ role in society? These questions kicked off a two-year foresight work that has engaged group management, managers as well as co-workers at the Swedish coffee roaster Löfbergs. In the podcast “The Future Starts Here", the company’s CEO Lars Appelqvist shares the results.
The goal was to cut the company’s emissions of greenhouse gases with 40 per cent by 2020. Löfbergs has now reached that goal. Less travelling by air and an increase of the share of Bio LPG are two of the adopted measures that have been contributory factors for Löfbergs’s decrease of its emissions with 50 per cent per produced ton of coffee compared to the base year of 2005.
The future. We do not know that much about it or what it will look like. But there is one thing we know for sure; it is coming. Faster than we imagine. Actually, there is one more thing. We know that the decisions we make and what we do today affect the future and how it will be. I believe it is an opportunity we have to make the most of.
