All Löfbergs whole beans are now packed in mono-material – a packaging made from a single type of plastic and fully recyclable. This transition marks an important step towards more sustainable material use and a circular economy. "This is an important part of our work to create a more sustainable supply chain,” says Madelene Breiling, Head of Development & Compliance at Löfbergs.
Löfbergs has been named Supplier of the Year by the hotel group Strawberry. The award recognises the family-owned roastery’s long-term work on climate, social impact, and responsible supply chains.
Building on more than a century of work to advance sustainability - and after two years of co-developing a regenerative agroforestry sourcing model together with GrowGrounds - Löfbergs is now entering the next phase: scaling real-world restoration across key coffee landscapes. The goal is clear: restore nature, improve farmer resilience, and secure high-quality coffee for future generations.
Swedish-based coffee roaster Löfbergs has taken another pioneering step in sustainable coffee sourcing. Earlier this year, the family-owned company became one of the first in Europe to buy Regenerative Organic Certified coffee — a new and ambitious certification that goes beyond traditional organic standards.
Swedish-based coffee roaster Löfbergs has been shortlisted in two categories at the upcoming European Coffee & Hospitality Awards 2025: Best European Commercial Coffee Roaster and Most Sustainable Brand. The dual nominations underline the company’s strong position in the European coffee industry.
Getting more people to choose sustainable consumption takes more than just sustainable products. Through inspiration, knowledge, and practical tips, Löfbergs wants to make it easier to brew, taste, and enjoy coffee in a more conscious way.
The EU Deforestation Regulation, effective December 2025, mandates companies to ensure their products, like coffee, are deforestation-free. This requires transparent supply chain mapping. Löfbergs aims for compliance and enhanced traceability, fostering sustainability and customer trust in their coffee production.
Löfbergs has been a pioneer in sustainable packaging solutions for a long time. Through systematic and innovative efforts, the company is developing material and design that reduce the environmental impact, facilitate recycling, and comply with new legal requirements. Madelene Breiling, Head of Development and Compliance, explains why packaging is a key feature in the sustainability transition.
2024 was a year when climate change, poor harvests, and rising green coffee prices hit the coffee industry hard. Despite this, Löfbergs chose to continue investing in sustainability. According to Anders Fredriksson, CEO of Löfbergs, staying committed to sustainability requires both courage and a long-term perspective.
When Anders Löfberg and his brothers Josef and John started their coffee roastery in Karlstad in 1906, they laid the foundation for something bigger than perhaps they could imagine. But one thing was clear from the beginning – the business should be built on sustainable values. This is a principle that still lives on, and a principle that Kathrine Löfberg is passionate about passing on.
Löfbergs’ sustainability report for 2024 shows that the Swedish-based coffee roaster continues to invest strongly in sustainability. 2024 was a challenging year for the coffee industry – but Löfbergs continues to prioritise sustainability. Development projects in the producing countries, fossil-free sea transports, packaging development, and full traceability were some of the focus areas in 2024.
Using coffee grounds to enrich soil is a well-known trick among gardeners. Now, Sweden-based Löfbergs and Weibulls are taking it a step further with Coffee Soil – a completely peat-free potting mix made from upcycled coffee beans.
