I drink the ground LongBottom Fancy Houseblend every morning at home. Does anyone know if packaging can be recycled? Will LongBottom take the foil packaging and recycle it? Any details to keep these out of landfill are appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately not. Both the foil and tin tie style bags both have a plastic liner and the foil bags also have the critical one way valve assembly which allows the coffee to be packed just after roasting. As a food manufacturer we need to balance environmental impacts with FDA food safety and product quality concerns. Keeping coffee away from air is critical to product freshness. We had to opt for safety and freshness of your coffee over reusable packaging.

I don't recall the material the bags are made of, but if they're the traditional tin and paper bags, they are not recyclable because those are considered multilayered packaging and are too costly to separate the metals from the paper. Tin only bags, plastic only bags , and paper only bags are recyclable though
