Launching this week, the coffee company will sell "moderately-priced" organic coffee beans that will only be available in compostable bags and pods.
On the decision to use only compostable bags and pods, Mike mentions that he and Billie Joe wanted to reduce the environmental impact of their company. To achieve this, they teamed up UrthPact, a company that is producing compostable bags made out of starches and sugars which can be consumed by micro-organisms in the soil.
