Australian boutique coffee maker Hunt and Brew will now be packaging its cold brew beverages in bottles made by Pact Group from 100 per cent recycled plastic and recyclable via kerbside collections.

Hunt and Brew said the shift to more sustainable packaging ensures the company is continuing to take steps that reduce its environmental impact where possible. 

“At Hunt and Brew, we want to be part of the circular economy with recycled plastic bottles,” explained Emily Creer, manager at Hunt Brew. 

“Our consumers are concerned about single-use plastics, and this is in addition to the container deposit scheme, helps to ensure we close the loop.”

Hunt and Brew launched the first Australian cold brew product earlier this year, with no added sugar and local coffee beans sourced from far north Queensland.

“We are proud to be taking a broad view in terms of sustainability by looking across the entire supply chain,” Creer said. 

“Our Australian coffee not only has recycled plastic bottles, but also is supporting local Queensland farmers and reducing the food miles across the country.”

Hunt and Brew is a multi-award-winning beverage company with awards at the World Beverage Innovation Awards, as well as the Australian International Coffee Awards for excellence in cold brew coffee.
