Environmental sustainability, as well as social and economic sustainability, are increasingly central issues, which also impact working life.
Dersut is attentive to its environmental and social footprint and is dedicated to developing good practices to protect our planet.
Qualiy and environment
Qualiy and environment
As far as Dersut is concerned, a quality product can only be appreciated in a harmonious and nature-friendly context.
Environmental sustainability
The most significant actions implemented by the company include the use of a methane-powered heat generator, smoke burners, a cyclone and catalysts, which together prevent the dispersion of roasted coffee particles into the atmosphere. Alongside these practices aimed at reducing air pollution, the company has installed photovoltaic panels on the roof and parking canopies, enabling it to be almost 80% self-sufficient in its energy needs. Moreover, 90% of the energy produced by these panels is reused internally, further contributing to the reduction of environmental impact. In addition, part of one of our by-products, the coffee chaff/silverskin, is reused to produce eco-sustainable paper bags which allow for the replacement of up to 10% of tree-derived cellulose. With this project, on October 22, 2025, we won the “Premio Impresa Sostenibile” by Il Sole 24 Ore — in the “Economic Sustainability” category.
On the front line
Dersut was one of the first roasters in Italy to choose technologies that minimize the impact of its activity on the environment.

Dersut’s projects
The path of responsibility undertaken brings new inspiration every day to improve work practices and Dersut is proud of all the collaborations and initiatives it has successfully completed, as well as those it is pursuing with great dedication.
Shoppers made with our coffee silverskin in collaboration with Favini Paper Mill
The pula, or silverskin, is the thin layer that peels off green coffee beans during roasting, at around 200°C. While the bean transforms into coffee, the silverskin takes a different path: collected at the roastery, it is sent to a paper mill, where it is turned into eco-friendly paper mixed with natural fibers. This paper, used for example in our shopping bags, tells a story of reuse and sustainability. Produced by the Favini paper mill, it replaces up to 10% of tree-based cellulose, helping reduce environmental impact. With this project, on October 22nd, 2025, we won the “Premio Impresa Sostenibile” by Il Sole 24 Ore — in the “Economic Sustainability” category.
The Magic of Coffee Grounds on Cashmere, Wool, and Silk
In collaboration with Lanificio Bottoli, an exclusive collection of stoles is born — naturally dyed using our own coffee grounds. What was once a by-product of coffee roasting becomes a natural pigment, part of a circular process that delicately colors wool, cashmere, and silk in elegant brown tones. The coffee grounds, collected by our partners, are brought to our company and then to the mill, where 300 kg of grounds dye approximately 9,000 meters of fabric. This project is a tribute to natural materials and a celebration of the synergy between businesses from different sectors — united by shared values and a holistic commitment to sustainability.
Coffee packages become butt holders
The aluminium containers used to preserve the Dersut coffee beans are then processed in Debora Basei's Ricrearti laboratories and shared with the Piccola Comunità Onlus of Conegliano and the Associazione il Pesco of Mogliano, who create environmentally friendly cigarette butt holders.
TOO GOOD TO GO
Participation in the 'Too good to go' platform program continues, which allows the distribution of unsold, but still intact and good products, in order to combat food waste, and which has allowed Dersut Caffè, and participating coffee shops , to deliver the boxes of mixed products to those who have booked to collect them.
