Embark on a transformative journey through the world of sustainable coffee with Marie-Anne Champoux-Guimond, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada's senior Sustainability Manager, by tuning into the latest episode of the Circular Future podcast. Marie-Anne unveils the innovative strides of KDP Canada in aligning their Drink Well, Do Good initiative with conscientious environmental stewardship and a responsible supply chain. Discover how the company, a champion of Fairtrade, is reshaping the coffee industry by ushering in an era of ethically sourced beans and eco-friendly practices.
Our conversation with Mari- Anne goes beyond the bean, revealing how Keurig coffee machines are entering a new era of sustainability. The inclusion of recycled plastics and the recycling program for commercial machines showcase Keurig's commitment to the environment. Furthermore, the pioneering work of the Circular Plastics Task Force, with partners like Danone and Cascades, embodies a shared vision for enhancing the quality of locally recycled plastics. This episode illustrates the innovative spirit that's driving the plastic recycling revolution, and how every cup of coffee can contribute to a greener planet.
Lastly, we unwrap the layered strategies that Keurig Dr Pepper employs to reach their ambitious sustainability targets. From the packaging that's destined to become 100% recyclable or compostable, to the significant reduction in plastic usage, these goals echo the company's holistic approach to environmental responsibility. We discuss the power of collaboration and the imperative of embracing both successes and learning moments with humility. For businesses and individuals alike, this episode serves as a profound guide on forging a sustainable path that leaves a positive imprint on our Earth.
