Ecology is an integral part of our vision. Both in our products and in our project management.
Eco-management at Javry
The 6 elements
Sustainable agriculture
Our producers are part of a sustainable agriculture approach, concerned about nature.
Eco-responsible packaging
Our coffee is packed in environmentally friendly packaging or simply delivered in bulk.
Biodegradable capsules
Our capsules OK Compost and OK Biobased can follow the path of industrial compost.
Organic coffees
50% of our sales are organic coffees, labelled BIO by the Certisys control body.
Circular economy
In our workshop we give to your machines a second life and use solid reusable containers to transport the coffee.
Label Entreprise Ecodynamique
This label highlights our eco-management approach and our motivation to reduce Javry's environmental impact.

Some examples
Slow mobility
80% of employees come to the office by bike.
Reusable boxes
Our packages are transported and stored in solid reusable containers rather than cartons. Thanks to this, we avoid 1.5 tons of cardboard waste per year!
Reparation of the machines
Rather than being sent for scrap, our coffee machines are repaired as much as possible. We considerably increase the lifetime of our equipment.
Packaging bio-sourced
Our kraft coffee packets are made from organic materials and labelled OK Biobased.
Local and human labelling
Our packages are labelled in Schaerbeek, by Citeco, a company of adapted work. On the picture, Pierre-Yves (Javry) and Yusuf (Citeco).
Vermicompost
Thanks to a small vermicompost we reduce our waste and produce super fertiliser for office plants!
Bulk coffee
For large consumers and resellers we sell our coffee in bulk in 20kg food grade barrels.
Second-hand furniture
In the office we prefer second-hand furniture. In this photo you can see the furniture of our meeting room entirely bought at Troc International!
Biodegradable capsules
For capsule lovers, we offer 100% biodegradable capsules Nespresso compatible, labelled OK Compost and OK Biobased.
Timeline
Our eco-challenges
New packaging bio-sourced
February 2019
We have found an environmentally friendly alternative to our historic black plastic packages. Our new packaging is made of kraft paper with a thin bio-sourced plastic film. We were awarded of the 4-star OK Biobased label for this innovation.
Reusable boxes for transport
January 2020
We purchased several hundred solid reusable boxes. These boxes are used to transport and store our coffee, allowing us to stop using disposable cardboard boxes.

August 2020
No more aluminium bags ! Our biodegradable capsules are now packaged in cardboard boxes.
Label Entreprise Écodynamique

This label is an official recognition that enhances the value of our actions in eco-management: soft mobility, waste reduction, rational use of energy, ...
A first coffee imported by sail

Healthy and Belgian snacks
January 2021
To satisfy the small hungers at work or at home we will soon be offering healthy snacks in line with our values.
Deliveries by bike
June 2021
We will offer bicycle deliveries to further reduce our impact on the environment and on the air pollution. First in Brussels then in the rest of Belgium.
Full carbon footprint
January 2023
To continue to improve we need to know our current impact precisely. We will therefore carry out and publish a complete carbon footprint of the company.
A first sail cargo ship filled with coffee
October 2024
This is the maiden voyage of the Anemos, a brand-new sail cargo ship capable of carrying up to 1000 tons of coffee. Its arrival at the port is scheduled for early October 2024.

50% of our coffee transported by sail
June 2025
Maritime coffee transport is a significant contributor to the carbon emissions of our operations. By 2025, we will import 50% of our coffee via sail cargo ships.

Carbon footprint improvement
Summer 2025
We calculate our carbon footprint every year. We aim to analyze the most significant sources of emissions and take the most impactful reduction actions possible, both in scope 1 and scope 2.
