Our Journey To Carbon Beautiful
Carbon Positive
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.
Decays Beautifully
Our coffee bags are plastic free, plant based, fully biodegradable and compostable. Every part including the one way valve, reclosable zipper and the Colorplan coffee card. Since recycling outside of certain elements is a myth, our focus is on biodegradablity and eliminating plastic.
Pulp and Soy
Our sturdy coffee boxes ensure your coffees arrive to you pretty and safe. They are also part of the circular economy. 100% recycled paper made with 95% post-consumer waste that has been diverted from landfills. And printed with HydroSoy Ink to complete the circular economy. Home recyclable and even better reusable!!!
Boxes of Bamboo
When you order a bunch of bags of coffee from Torque they arrive in the Bamboo Box. These boxes are made mostly from bamboo (& some recycled wood pulp). Curbside recyclable, reusable (at least a couple of times) and compostable. Unbleached, FSC certified Bamboo (2/3) and recycled wood pulp (1/3). Water-based printing ink.
Ditch The Bags
For Southern California partners, Torque's bulk coffees are presented in a zero-waste, reusable format that not only eliminates packaging waste but also guarantees unparalleled freshness and flavor. Embrace the Reduce, Reuse, Rad mantra with Torque's wholesale coffees, delivered in reusable/returnable canisters, eliminating 100% of waste.

Climate Commitment
We clean up after ourselves
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.
Together, participating businesses have…
- Removed thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping on more than ten million orders
Here's how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Let's meet a few of the companies removing our shipping emissions.
Heirloom
Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.
Remora
Remora captures CO₂ from semi-truck tailpipes as they drive, with the CO₂ destined for long-term storage.
Charm
Charm captures CO₂ using plant waste, converts it into a stable, carbon-rich liquid, and safely stores it deep underground—out of reach of wildfires and soil erosion.
