Alexis and I just flew back from a long awaited visit to family and friends in France and Europe. We had the best time and are now ready to get back into the war on waste šŖ
All that to say our little veggie patch had a fantastic time without us! š„¬š„¦š„š«
And our @compostablealternatives home compostable coffee cup too! āļø

Launching an innovative product is good. But making sure it benefits a circular economy and do not create additional waste is better! ā»ļø
I have been sharing this discussion on FB lately and received some really interesting perspectives and introduced to amazing projects.
I donāt want to stop here and am keen to continue this in-depth customers analysis of HOW can we make sure people properly dispose of our new home compostable cups/lids, especially in area where they do not have FOGO / home compost / backyard?
Over the past 10 months, our initial actions have been:
ā¢ a "straight-to-the-point" name and design: Compost After Coffee
ā¢ proper messaging and clear disposal instruction (validated by our community)
ā¢ certification logo on the cup (the ABA trademark is coming too)
ā¢ creating content showing people how to compost it
ā¢ encourage compost sharing platform such as ShareWaste
ā¢ initial conversations on implementing a collection system (similar to terracycle) for businesses that do not compost to send them back to us - this still needs some work as it does not solve the correct disposal after the "take-away" action
ā¢ initial conversations on a $ based return scheme (similar to the bottle/cans)
ā¢ using closed loop recycling program at dedicated locations
ā¢ working with dedicated recycling group that collect food (and other hard-to-recycle) waste weekly to offer their services to our customers when they make an order
ā¢ ???
Let's make this better, together š
*kind reminder that reusables always come first, compostables will always be second

What a year as entrepreneurs (part 3)!
It surely has taken me a long time to finalise this little serie of āwhat a year as entrepreneurs..ā but you will soon understand why!!
Many many things happened in 2021, and while i love to share about our entrepreneurial journey, it would have been very hard to do a concise summary!
Last year I was offered to take over an organisation that means a lot to me and has been doing a fantastic work of education to fight the war on waste since 2013: @responsiblecafes
While I hesitated for a long time to say yes, mostly because i knew all the additional work it would mean, I did say yes because it makes so much sense for what we do and how we can positively impact the industry.
I have been supporting reusables for many years and am the first one always carrying at least a reusable bag, bottle and cup at the bare minimum. I constantly talk about the 3Rs, composting and circular principles.
While the pandemic has very badly impacted the reuse industry, there has to be a suitable alternative when reusables are not possible.
This alternative is home compostable and this is what I do with @compostablealternatives and our regenerative solutions š±
For the past 6months+ now, i have truly loved building a new team of passionated women, probably the team I wish I could have beside me for CA too, to fight single use plastic! #waronwasteau
Weāve developed new initiatives and projects that make a lot of sense and drive behavior change.
Weāre making an impact šŖ
Of course this is super challenging running two organisations, i have much less time for myself and there are plenty of new challenges that i didnt expect.
But bringing new solutions, innovations, knowledge and support to a network of 5000 cafes all around Australia also means I can have a deeper impact and along with my fantastic team, we can lead changes and ditch single use plastic for good!
Itās been a hard few months but I canāt wait to finally meet you after many months getting to know each other remotely Manon, Shark, Amy and Ash! š„°š
Cafes and restaurants owners, get accredited as @responsiblecafes for free and start your sustainable journey with us šŖš

Something very exciting happened yesterday!!! š we received our first BIG shipment of our certified home compostable gloves: 112 000 to be precise!š
You wouldnāt believe how long we waited for those little products to arrive!! Definitely a lot of new learnings for us as itās the first time we have a big quantity of products being shipped to us by sea!!
We woke up this morning feeling super excited to finally be sending them to our sustainable childcare customers so Alexis prepared everything last night so they can be picked up in the morning!! š
If you are looking for an alternative to single use plastic gloves, look no further - we gotcha!! š available via compostablealternatives.com.au @compostablealternatives

Watching Regenerating Australia last week was another reminder of why we do what we do šš
Entrepreneurship is so hard, but itās so rewarding at the same time!
This compelling documentary shows a possible future, our possible future.
I want to believe it but I want to see it too! Thatās why we pour our heart and soul into growing our business and its values š±
So letās focus on regenerating our soil and our sea so tomorrow can be the best version of what it took us so long to understand! š
This doco also really confirmed our desire to call what we do a Ā«Ā regenerative packaging brandĀ Ā».
It makes so much more sense and is easier for everyone to understand it. We used to sayĀ Ā«Ā home compostable packagingĀ Ā» but this is often misunderstood by most due to the confusion between the types of compostable products.
Thank you @damon.gameau and @startregenerating - from our rye straws to a regenerative packaging brand @compostablealternatives , you have been a part of our journey! š±šš

The ennemy numero uno and the one weāve been targeting for the past 8 months in product development!
Watch out for a certified home compostable coffee cup launching very (!!) soon on the market, branded for easy disposal and at the most affordable* price of all types of compostable cups on the market!
Why should better products be more expensive?
