What is Carbon Neutral Coffee? A Deep Dive with Presto Coffee
Here at Presto Coffee, we strongly believe that each and every cup of coffee can be a force for good. That’s why we make every effort to be as sustainable as possible. But what exactly does carbon neutral mean?
Understanding Carbon Neutral Coffee
When you hear the term carbon neutral coffee, it means coffee that has been produced in a way that offsets or eliminates the carbon dioxide emissions that are generated during its lifecycle. From growing and harvesting beans to roasting, packaging, and delivering them to your cup, coffee production has a large carbon footprint. Becoming carbon neutral means reducing emissions where possible and offsetting the rest through sustainability projects.
