Sustainability

Coffee with a purpose beyond the bag.

See our current commitments, goals, sources, and the conservation organizations we admire.

Why It Is the Whole Point

A turtle does not rush, and neither does a good decision.

We named this company after an animal that reminds us to move deliberately, make thoughtful choices, and be honest about where we are today.

Sustainability is not a finished claim. It is work in progress we are willing to show you.

Where We Stand Today

Honest commitments, not a highlight reel.

Use these cards to explain the commitments your business can support and verify today.

Our Starting Pledge

A portion of every bag helps support turtle conservation, ocean awareness, and community care.

Our Packaging Goal

We are working toward lower-waste and eco-conscious packaging options as the business grows.

Our Transparency Promise

As the company grows, we will share updates on what we support and how the mission develops.

Why Packaging Matters

The problem we want our packaging to stop adding to.

"Over 91% of plastic is never recycled — we chose packaging that doesn't add to the problem. Our bags are made with recyclable and compostable materials, keeping single-use plastic out of the ocean."

~52%

"Of all sea turtles worldwide are estimated to have ingested plastic debris at some point — across every one of the seven living species, not one is untouched."

"Sea turtle species are affected by plastic pollution in the world's oceans. There is no species that single-use plastic doesn't reach."

Decades

"Is roughly how long a standard plastic-lined coffee bag takes to break down in a landfill. Kraft paper with a hidden plastic lining is not compostable — ours is."

Our Packaging Goal

We will not claim what we cannot verify.

We are evaluating lower-waste packaging suppliers and materials.
We will update this page when packaging materials are finalized and verifiable.
We would rather under-promise than make a packaging claim we cannot support.
