From Punk Rock to Packaging: Green Day Rockers Help Launch Sustainable Packaging Initiative
Green Day guitarist/frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt, who own Oakland Coffee Works, help introduce coffee pods and bags made from compostable materials.
It’s estimated that 18,000 single-serve coffee pods are discarded every minute. In fact, lined up, the pods that are thrown away each year could circle the Earth more than 10 times.
It’s a problem that many are working hard to address, but you probably wouldn’t have guessed that Green Day guitarist/frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt are among them. The duo own Oakland, California-based Oakland Coffee Works, and through a partnership with the San Francisco Bay Coffee Company, have brought to market organic coffee in bags and single-serve pods crafted from compostable materials.
