NatureWorks to expand development in compostable coffee pods market

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-05-14 Editor ：JK

NatureWorks, a leading manufacturer of low-carbon Ingeo PLA biopolymers, and IMA Coffee, a global market leader in coffee handling, processing, and packaging, have entered into a joint strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the market for high performing K-Cup compatible compostable single-serve coffee pods in North America.

 

The multi-year partnership brings together NatureWorks’ expertise with compostable materials, formulations, and processing technology with IMA’s competencies and application-specific know-how encompassing all stages of coffee handling, processing, and packaging.

 

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.

NatureWorks and IMA announce new strategic partnership for the compostable coffee pods market.


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

 

Coffee capsules are complex structures where the capsule body, lidding, and filter must be precisely designed to deliver a consistently high-quality brewing experience. Before the capsules even reach consumers, it’s critical that these components perform well during assembly and filling as well as on the shelf and during brewing.

 

The partnership therefore aims to deliver a turn-key compostable coffee pod solution to the entire coffee industry making it simple to have a cup of coffee and dispose of the used pod in the most sustainable way possible.

 

“At NatureWorks, we’ve seen tremendous interest in compostable single-serve pods,” said Flavio Di Marcotullio, Global Industry Manager for NatureWorks. “We saw the opportunity to partner with IMA as they have long helped the single-serve coffee market implement innovative new packaging technologies and have a long-term commitment towards sustainable solutions.”

 

Moreover, in order to give greater impetus to the topic and direct the production chain towards increasing environmental sustainability, IMA launched IMA NoP - No Plastic Program - in 2019.

 

“Through the research and testing of alternative processes and materials, together with our partners, we foster plastic-free and sustainable, compostable packaging solutions. IMA has also established the Open Lab where Material Technologists study, develop, and test compostable and recyclable materials to be used on our packaging equipment,” stated Nicola Panzani, IMA Coffee Sales Manager and IMA Coffee Petroncini CEO.
