DEFINING SUSTAINABLE ROASTING
Low carbon impact per roast cycle
The NORDRE approach to
carbon neutrality is system design, not a compensation model.
Pellet fuel ensures a CO2 neutral energy source. Highly efficient
heat transfer, a machine construction with longevity in mind, and sustainable component choices further reduces
the overall carbon footprint of each roasting cycle.

Carbon neutral fuel
Pellets - the fuel powering NORDRE machines - is most commonly produced from the waste products of the forestry industry. Due to the process of carbon capture, it is a net zero carbon footprint energy source given a sustainable forestry program such as in Sweden.
Pellets can also be produced from materials other than wood, such as bi-products from farming & food production.

Scandinavian sourcing
To the largest extent possible we source our materials and components from Scandinavia. Stainless steel from Finland. Frequency drivers from Denmark. Temperature probes from Finland.
If Scandinavian sourcing is not possible, we source from other European countries - for example, stepper motor drivers from Italy.
This strategy ensures the highest quality of the finished roasting machine, which in turn leads to a long machine life and a further reduced carbon footprint per roasting cycle.
Built for long service life
NORDRE machine systems are built for long-term operation. Our serviceable machine house, standardized component choices, and modular fluid bed design is intended to go through continual maintenance, service, and upgrades - instead of disposal. This reduces material waste and extends the lifecycle of the machine..
