Paul Rason, Head of the Coffee segment for ePac said that: โ€œePacโ€™s Mission has been, from the very beginning, to support and add value within our respective communities. The partnership with Project Waterfall is our first community program dedicated to the coffee industry, and it provides us with an opportunity to help bring an end to the water crisis in coffee growing regions around the world. Working with the Project Waterfall team weโ€™ll start with the Berbere Project in Ethiopia, a country that many consider to be the birthplace of coffee. We see this as a long term partnership and weโ€™re looking forward to getting started.โ€
