It doesn’t end with coffee
Our ecological commitments
Our ecological commitments
Ecology as many faces
This is what we do
Ecology is an integral part of our vision. Both in our products and in our project management.
Refurbished machines
Nous favorisons l'économie circulaire en reconditionnant des machines pour prolonger leur vie en seconde-main.
Slow mobility
The majority of our employees are biking to work. We also offer "slow travel" extra vacations pay days.
Ecodynamic Label
This label highlights our eco-management approach and our motivation to reduce Javry's environmental impact.
Reusable storage
Our packages are transported and stored in solid reusable containers rather than cardbox, avoiding 1.5 tons of cardboard waste per year!
Local labelling
Our packages are labelled in Schaerbeek, by Citeco, a company of adapted work.
Where it all begin
Democratizing sustainably-farmed coffee
Sourcing has always been the cornerstone of the project. Javry came into being because its creators found it difficult to access ethically sourced, responsibly grown coffee.
Our strength and difference is that we know the producers whose coffee you will be selling. We choose to work with them precisely because of their ecological considerations.
We only promote coffee growers who practice sustainable or regenerative agriculture and, if possible, organic farming. 50% of our sales are organic coffees, certified by Certisys.
Small winds make big changes
Coffee by sail : a mainstay
Encouraging carbon-free shipping
One of our most exciting and challenging projects: reducing the carbon footprint of our coffee transport!
2020. First journey by schooner
2024 First sailing cargo
2025. 3 coffees imported under sail importés à la voile
Since the summer of 2003
An annual carbon footprint
In the summer of 2023, we embarked on our carbon footprint review with Tapio: we’re convinced that to keep improving, we need to be objective and know our current impact precisely.
Our aim? To analyze the items that emit the most and take the most effective action to reduce them, both in terms of scope 1 and scope 2.
In the world of coffee, it’s agriculture that weighs most heavily in the balance. By distributing only sustainably-produced coffee, we’ve already taken a very good step in this direction, and we don’t intend to stop there.
Choisir Javry, c’est soutenir concrètement un modèle où éthique, durabilité et plaisir gustatif vont de pair.
Till the very last drop
Promoting an economy of functionality
At Javry, we are committed to an economy of functionality, thanks to a rental system offered to companies. This means that our customers always have access to a machine :
- whose capacity is always in line with their needs, even if they change during the course of the contract (machine upgrade or downgrade),
- that can be repaired rather than discarded in the event of a problem.
To bring this system to fruition :
- we have invested in quality machines for which every part is replaceable and/or repairable.
- we make our customers aware of the importance of proper use and impeccable maintenance, thanks to numerous tutorials and a free supply of maintenance products.
Thanks to all these efforts, our machines can last up to 10 years!
We care for the container too
Improving our packaging
Our coffee bags (with the exception of the label) are OK biobased certified. This certification guarantees that the raw materials used for our packaging are derived from renewable resources (i.e. plant and algae matter, etc.).
On the one hand, these resources are inexhaustible. On the other, they emit very few greenhouse gases. These materials are beneficial because they are opposed to fossil fuels (oil, for example).
We are still working on the recycling of this packaging: less than 20% of the total product must be plastic to be recycled (without having to sort out the craft and the inner food-grade plastic film), which we can’t yet attest to. This is one of our 2025 challenges!
Jusqu’au bout des machines
Prioritising biodegradable capsules
Do we still need to explain the disasters caused by single-use coffee capsules?
So, for those of you who have a Nespresso or a Senseo, and who want to do a little something extra to limit breakage, we offer biodegradable capsules with the Ok biobased and Ok compost labels.
These labels show, respectively, that our capsules contain no substances harmful to the environment, and that they can be reduced to high-quality compost in an industrial plant.
