QUESTION 1: Can we reuse coffee bags?

JARED’S ANSWER: No. 

QUESTION 2: Should I return them to the roaster to repackage?

JARED’S ANSWER: No. 

Food packaging facilities face a lot of scrutiny, and it is unlikely that those packages will be reused.

The big burlap sacks have more second-life utility. They’re compostable. You could plant trees in them. Consider donating them to the forest service or repurposing them into fashionable shoulder bags. Use your imagination! If you’re willing to try making me a burlap coffee suit…or have a question for our Coffee Smarter experts reach out to coffeesmarterpodcast@gmail.com.
