All of our products are brought to you in recyclable packaging— whether that is plastic bottles or cartons. Both the label sleeves on bottles as well as the plastic caps are recyclable. Please note: removing the label allows for better colour sorting and assures greater value of the materials. If you can spare the extra ten seconds, rip off the label for the planet! It’s important to check to assure the right facilities exist in your community. Please visit RecycleCartons.com or check with your local recycling program.
Right now, we’re working on ways to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging even further by including recycled materials in our packaging.
One of our core aspirations of sustainability is to improve value for our farmer-partners through direct-sourcing partnerships. By shortening the supply chain, we can assure we bring you the highest quality ingredients while ensuring that the stewards of our land benefit from our business. We recently completed a robust Direct Trade coffee sourcing program. Beginning 2018, all of the 100% Arabica beans used in Califia’s products are sourced directly from farmer-partners in Central and South America, and East Africa.
When it comes to almonds used in our products, we work primarily with one grower-processor that is led by a 3rd generation family operation. They use only the most technologically-progressive irrigation practices and manage their own beehives to assure that these important pollinators thrive. More than 80% of the almonds we buy are grown and processed within a 20 mile radius of our bottling facility.
Our goal is to transition to 100% renewable power by 2020. To get there, we’re finding innovative ways to reduce our energy needs while also boosting our production of renewable energy. We’ve managed to cut the amount of energy needed to produce one bottle of our Almondmilk by 23% between 2016 and 2017. Next up, we’ll look to install a massive solar array at our manufacturing plant to harness the power of the California sunshine. We’re also in the midst of a year-long energy efficiency study that will guide further improvements.
We use cool technology to lower our carbon footprint throughout our energy-efficient distribution center:
- 16” insulated walls. Eight independently functioning condenser units, which activate as directed by a multi-zone network of temperature sensors.
- Energy efficient motors with Variable Frequency Drives.
- A boiler economizer to consume less gas in our heat generation.
- Skylights in the packaging area of our plant so that we can turn off the majority of the area lighting during sunny days and motion sensors so that if we’re not using the lights, they shut off automatically.
We all know H20 is a precious resource, especially in our home state of California.
Califia Farms Supports Water-Friendly Farmers
- We work almost exclusively with almond farmers who use only the most efficient, technologically advanced irrigation practices.
- By using drip irrigation and live weather and soil moisture monitoring, our farmers ensure that the almond trees get the appropriate amount of water they need.
Califia Farms is Increasing Water Efficiency
- In our manufacturing 100% of the water leaving our Bakersfield plant is now captured and reclaimed by the farmers who grow our almonds just up the road.
- Over the past year, we have reduced the amount of water required to produce each bottle of our Almondmilk by 16% through efficient production planning.
We are proud to be founding members of the Plant Based Foods Association, a trade organization formed with the following mission: to ensure a fair and competitive marketplace for businesses selling plant-based foods intended to replace animal products such as meats, dairy, and eggs, by promoting policies and practices that improve conditions in the plant-based foods industry, and educating consumers about the benefits of plant-based foods.
In 2017 we became involved with the Ron Finley Project. Meet Ron in our “Cultivators” Video and learn more about what he’s doing for the future of food.
In 2017, we also joined the RE100 initiative to further our commitment to source 100% renewable electricity by 2020.
In 2018, we became a supporter of Equal Origins - an organization that promotes gender equality through training workshops and educational programs within the global coffee supply chain. The team at Califia also supports other local non-profits and charities, and each employee receives a full paid day off to volunteer at the organization of their choice.Plant Milks
Cold Brew Coffees
We start with 100% Arabica beans sourced via Direct Trade from Central and South America and East Africa. We then custom roast these beans in a light Scandinavian-style at our own roasting facilities located in Oakland, CA and Downtown Los Angeles.
The roasted beans then undergo a proprietary cold brew immersion technique that results in more water contacting more of the coffee grounds, imparting more flavor to the final brew because this technique captures more of the great-tasting coffee compounds and leaves behind the less desirable compounds. Our process also guarantees the coffee stays fresher because there’s less exposure to air, meaning less oxidation and degradation.
“Direct-Trade” is simply another way of saying we work hand in hand with farms that lovingly and sustainably grow our coffee. It means we set our prices directly with the farmers, so their businesses can continue to grow and profit. Most importantly, it’s a commitment to being part of an ethical eco-system that supports the planet. Not to mention, great coffee.
All of Califia's Coffee is sourced via Direct Trade from Central and South America and East Africa.
