Australian boutique coffee maker Hunt and Brew has announced its entire product range including white milk and cold brew are now being made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, as well as being 100 per cent kerbside recyclable. 

Hunt and Brew launched an Australian-first cold brew product earlier this year, using local coffee beans sourced from far north Queensland, making the company one of the largest buyers of Australian grown coffee beans.

Hunt and Brew manager Emily Creer says the shift to more sustainable packaging ensures it is continuing to take steps to reduce its environmental impact where possible, adding that all brands have a responsibility to deliver a sustainable choice to consumers as they become increasingly aware of waste and protecting the environment.

“At Hunt and Brew we want to be part of the circular economy with recycled plastic bottles. Our consumers are concerned about single use plastics and this in addition to the container deposit scheme helps to ensure we close the loop,” said Creer. 

“We are proud to be taking a broad view in terms of sustainability by looking across the entire supply chain. Our Australia coffee not only has recycled plastic bottles, but also is supporting local QLD farmers and reducing the food miles across the country,” said Creer.
