Sustainability Policy.
Here at Silver Cafe Co. We care about the planet and the people in it. Below is a list of the measures we have in place to ensure we are doing our bit to help support this beautiful planet on which we live. We are looking to improve this so if you have any ideas that we have not yet thought of please do share with us.
- We use biodegradable cups and cutlery
- We use plant based 'plastic' glasses
- Our coffee and hot chocolate are sustainably sourced
- Our coffee is Rain Forest Alliance certified*
- Coffee grinds and tea bags are composted
So far, we have managed never to throw away any leftover bakes as they are gratefully received by friends! However, we are signed up to Too Good To Go, a scheme where surplus food can be put in to 'Magic Bags' and sold at a reduced price to help prevent food waste.
