Solinatra Unveils Sustainable Coffee Capsules

Sustainable Coffee Capsules from Solinatra Solinatra's sustainable capsules earned compostability certification from TÜV Austria. TÜV Austria CERT GmbH verified that capsules manufactured at Solinatra are a 100% natural, plant-based and environmentally friendly option, awarding them the "OK Compost Industrial" certification. Coffee capsules from Solinatra are 100% natural, plant-based, biodegradable, compostable and contain zero fossil-derived content while leaving no microplastics behind. The innovative capsules feature high oxygen barrier and water vapor barrier properties, meaning coffee stays fresh for a perfect brewing experience every time.

Contributing to Circular Economy and Reducing Environmental Impact

In 2022, more than 70 billion single-use coffee capsules were sold worldwide, enough to wrap the planet 51 times. Plastic and aluminum capsules require removal of their lids and coffee grounds before they can be washed and recycled. Coffee capsules from Solinatra can be easily added to food waste collection points or home compost bins, making it easier for consumers to dispose of capsules properly. Composting coffee capsules results in high-quality fertilizer that provides a more circular economy and reduces environmental impact compared to plastic or aluminum.

Seamless Transition to Compostable, Circular Solutions

Solinatra is leading the way with truly sustainable materials by developing innovative material classes to replace fossil-based plastics. Patented processes convert plant waste from harvested crops and agricultural by-products into a biopolymer that works in standard injection molding machines, enabling manufacturers to transition seamlessly from polluting fossil-based plastics to compostable, circular solutions. TÜV certification provides greater confidence to brands and consumers seeking truly sustainable biomaterials. Solinatra materials are suitable for a wide range of applications including cutlery, food packaging, cosmetics and industrial uses. Source
