Alpla, a global leader in food packaging, has introduced a new range of biodegradable coffee capsules for its Blue Circle brand. The capsules are made using organic material and offer a sustainable alternative for coffee suppliers, wholesalers, filling companies, and roasting plants.
The certified system involves a capsule and sealing foil that ensures the coffee aroma remains within the capsule and prevents any unwanted migration of coffee aroma into the environment. This recyclable and odour-neutral system is carefully designed to minimise the impact on the capsule contents, ensuring safe and quality coffee for consumption.
The Blue Circle capsules are injection-moulded in the company’s facilities and produced in the Blue Circle design. They are particularly tasteless and provide consumers with a resource-conserving alternative.
According to Nicolas Lehner, the CCO at Alpla, “Around the world, consumer behaviour is becoming more sustainable. We see ourselves as pioneers and are developing the packaging solutions of the future.”
Furthermore, the biodegradable coffee capsules align with the new EU Packaging Regulation, which requires compostable solutions for individual coffee portion packaging in the future. The capsules can be disposed of via home compost or in the organic waste bin, providing further convenience and ecological benefits to consumers.
At Alpla, our mission is to provide sustainable and innovative packaging solutions for the food and beverage industry. By introducing our biodegradable coffee capsules, we can help our customers achieve their sustainability targets while also contributing to a better environment for future generations.
