Compostable Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) coffee pods

News- NatureWorks, the world’s leading manufacturer of Ingeo PLA biopolymers, and IMA Coffee, global market leader in coffee processing, and packaging, announced that they have entered into a joint strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the market for high performing K-Cup compostable single-serve coffee pods in North America

The pressure on the single serve coffee market to make more meaningful progress towards a more sustainable packaging solution has grown significantly in recent years. Consumers appreciate single-serve capsules for the convenient and quality brewing experience but see the packaging waste associated with a capsule as a detriment

Compostable capsules create the opportunity to not only address consumer concerns and divert the packaging away from landfills, but, more importantly, to recover the used coffee grounds, enabling their processing at a compost facility where they deliver valuable nutrients to the final compost

IMA’s Open Lab is a network of technological laboratories dedicated to the research on sustainable materials, technologies, and production optimization processes
