whAT DO YOU PAY FOR PACKAGING?
Packing coffee in Swag Bags not only reduces your carbon footprint and diverts enormous quantities of plastic from landfill, it also saves your roastery thousands of dollars in packaging every year.
These graphs show the average comparative cost of packaging 500kgs of coffee over 5 years. In this example, a roastery would have saved over $74,000 had it it replaced single-use packaging with Swag Bags. These figures account for the added cost of reverse shipping logistics associated with Swag Bags, but do not indicate the higher labour and storage costs associated with either coffee tins or single-use bags.
Even with conservative estimates, Swag Bags are shown to be six times more economical than conventional coffee bags and almost a quarter the cost of coffee tins.
Unlike coffee tins, Swag Bags can be shipped and returned via courier, allowing roasteries to completely eliminate single-use packaging costs and dramatically reduce their production of plastic waste.
There’s no downside. Unless you hate money, or the environment… or efficiency.
* Single-use bags are calculated at 60c per 1kg bag and $1 boxing cost per 12kg of coffee. Coffee tins are calculated as 50% tins and 50% single-use packaging
