At The Coffee Barn, we prioritize supporting brick-and-mortar stores that play a vital role in our communities. While online marketplaces like Amazon offer vast reach and convenience, we believe in the importance of fostering local connections and supporting small businesses that contribute to the vibrant fabric of neighborhoods. We believe in the power of community and are committed to making a positive impact locally.

Our bags have a shelf life of 12-18 months if stored properly in a cool, dry place. Over time, they will naturally start to degrade, even without being exposed to composting environments.

Our bags are certified for industrial composting and will also degrade in landfill environments, but they are not certified for home composting. Home composting conditions often don’t reach the temperatures necessary for our bags to break down. Only bags that are certified as "home compostable" can safely break down in home composting systems. Look for certifications like "OK Compost HOME" or "TÜV AUSTRIA" to ensure the material will break down in a home system.

Our bags are made from used coffee grounds, creating a fully circular, zero-waste product. Unlike corn starch-based compostables, which require growing and harvesting corn, our bags repurpose waste materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

If industrial composting isn’t available in your area, you can still dispose of the bags in a landfill. The bags are designed to degrade more quickly than plastic in landfill conditions, minimizing environmental harm.

Yes, we offer custom branding options for businesses looking to incorporate our compostable bags into their operations. Whether you need carry-out bags, trash liners, or pet waste bags, we can help you promote sustainability while showcasing your brand.

Businesses can integrate our bags as part of their waste management systems, packaging solutions, or customer-facing products. This helps businesses lower their environmental impact and align with sustainability goals.
