The criteria for sustainability in choosing coffee has clearly grown, with greater emphasis on experientiality and quality. The coffee of the near future will be less traditional, and at the same time consumption of coffee in different forms will increase. The coffee of the future will be more responsibly and transparently produced, be of higher quality, and will better reflect the person enjoying it.
- Sustainability is a very broad social and cultural concept. It is not only certificates, which in themselves are a sound and reliable way of certifying the supply chain and providing information. Interest in authentic stories has also increased. Our customers increasingly want to know about the cultivation and production of coffee in the countries of origin, says Meira’s barista Ann-Marie von Bell.
For far better moments
- Our values are the basis of our work in the field of sustainability. We want to produce much better moments in our entire value chain. Only then can our end consumers enjoy their coffee with confidence. Our Kulta Katriina coffees, aimed at professionals, have long been certified and are 100% responsibly produced. This means sustainability for the well-being of people and the environment in the entire production chain, Meira's Customer marketing manager Susanna Koroma-Nyström states.
Consumers are interested in genuine stories
Honduras is the largest country of origin for Meira's coffees.
- We have been in Honduras for our partner Boncafe's development project, where new wet processing plants have been built in coffee farming areas. The volume passing through them is up to four times greater, and water consumption is reduced to a quarter.
Coffee farmers increase their productivity, whilst more efficient water consumption benefits the environment. Boncafe's agronomists also tour coffee farms and provide training for farmers, e.g. for the optimal use of fertilizers. This is significant, as most of the greenhouse emissions associated with coffee cultivation are produced by the manufacture and use of fertilisers. These are exactly the concrete stories that people want to hear about coffee, says Koroma-Nyström.
Small sustainable choices in practice
The Kulta Katriina filter coffees intended for professional usage are pre-packaged into portions suitable for coffee machine filters.
- By choosing our food service portion bag, the customer always gets the right sized-portion with the correct degree of grinding. This guarantees the customer a high-quality coffee experience, and at the same time saves time in the kitchen, as the coffee does not have to be separately measured into the filter.
- All our food service filter coffees are roasted and packed in our Vallila roastery using aluminium-free laminate, which can be recycled in a plastic waste collection. Small sustainable choices add up to an entity that has real meaning, Koroma-Nyström sums up.

The internationally operating Twinings has been making tea blends for over 300 years. Twinings is committed to more sustainable packaging materials and the goals are ambitious, but achievable. These actions help to improve the environmental impact now and in the future.
In addition to protecting the planet that we live on, Twinings also wants to protect the people who live on it. Twinings has worked to improve the working conditions of the thousands of people who work on tea plantations – without them there would be no Twinings.
Please read more about Twinings' tea packaging and materials as well as Twinings' Sourced with Care-programme below.
The environmental impact of Twinings tea packaging
At Twinings, one of the world's most beloved teahouses, they care about the impact of their actions to our planet. The packaging is carefully selected to ensure that when you make a cup of delicious Twinings tea, it is as fresh and enjoyable as possible.
Twinings is committed to more sustainable packaging materials. However, it will take some time before all packaging materials are fully compostable or recyclable while not compromising the freshness of the tea. At Twinings, however, they are aware of the need to choose materials that do not pollute the environment. Twinings has drawn up a plan and goals to ensure that the packaging is as environmentally friendly as possible.
Currently, more than 65 percent of Twinings' packaging is already fully recyclable. This number is planned to be increased to more than 90 percent by 2025. For example, whenever plastic is needed for packaging, Twinings ensures that as much as it is possible, the plastic is made from recycled materials. In addition to this, Twinings steadily reduces the amount of packaging materials used in all its products by 5% per year.
Twinings - Sourced with Care programme
Twinings believes that everyone has the right to a decent quality of life and is able to provide for themselves and their families. Twinings Sourced with Care is a responsible sourcing programme, which aims to improve the lives of communities from which Twinings source.
Through Twinings´ Sourced with Care-programme, Twinings is working to improve living standards in tea communities from which Twinings source. This means improving access to water and sanitation, empowering women through health and education initiatives, and enhancing incomes and livelihoods by equipping farmers with the knowledge and skills to thrive in the future.
The impact of Twinings in numbers:
• 543,874 people positively impacted by Sourced with Care so far
• 140,000+ community members reached by handwashing and hygiene programmes
• 100,000+ women reached by initiatives to improve their health
• 1,596 people received support for additional income-generating activities
• 11,000+ people gained access to clean drinking water
Twinings wishes you enjoyable tea moments with environmentally friendly actions!

Finns love meatballs and we can now offer familiar and slightly more exotic versions. We make our premium meatballs from Finnish meat, which we use generously. Our products have a meat content of as high as 75%. Our product development has also allowed us to minimise the use of additives.
Since they are cooked products, Görans meatballs are an easy, quick alternative for both professional caterers and consumers alike.
Our meatballs are made in one of the most eco-friendly facilities in Finland, without using fossil fuels and continuously reducing the amount of plastic packaging. Since our meatballs are deep frozen loose, there is less waste when using them.
Taste is just one reason to choose Görans meatballs.

Spring is coming with a new crop of vegetables, sweet holiday treats and a renewed Season Products magazine!
Spring is full of food parties, all of which have their own classic delicacies. You can find a variety of berry fillings for laskiais buns and Mother's Day cakes in our selections, overcooked meats, eggs and cheesecakes made from our unflavored fresh cheeses are suitable for the Easter menu. For May Day, we recommend, in addition to bubbly drinks, a hummus board consisting of hummus, vegetables, fruits and grain products.
The most anticipated seasonal product of spring, green asparagus, is now enjoyed in an asparagus-potato salad with Japanese-style miso sauce. On the other hand, weekday lunches are brightened up by new products, such as domestic wild oats, which can be used in many familiar recipes instead of rice, pasta or potatoes.
