Conserving the environment while offering quality products and services has always been a top priority for Pacific Coffee. Throughout the years, we have implemented a variety of measures to encourage customers to work with us to support environmental protection. Let's create a cleaner and more pleasant Hong Kong together!
To further reduce waste, straws are not provided for any iced beverage purchase (except Chillinos) unless requested and no straws are made available in the condiment area.
Plastic cutleries will not be provided for any food purchase unless requested and no plastic cutleries are made available in the condiment area.
Since June 2018, the Environmental Month, it has become a standard policy not to print receipts for most transactions unless requested. Save one little piece of paper at a time!
Customers can enjoy $3 discount by bringing their own mug when purchasing any handcrafted beverage at all Pacific Coffee in Hong Kong.
We have launched the Coffee Lid Recycling Program, in partnership with Ocean Recovery Alliance (ORA), to encourage customers to return coffee lids for recycling, and in return they will get a free upgrade on the next handcrafted beverage purchase. Cleaned coffee lids are transferred to ORA to be recycled.
