FLO Group and NatureWorks develop PLA-based compostable coffee pod
FLO Group, a leading European player in vending and food packaging sector, and NatureWorks, the global leader in PLA-based biopolymers, have developed the innovative compostable single-serve coffee pod – KEYGEA – for the North America market.
KEYGEA, the innovative compostable single-serve coffee pod.
The coffee pod is made with NatureWorks’ Ingeo PLA, a biopolymer derived from renewable resources. It’s certified industrially compostable by BPI and DIN CERTCO, allowing the ability to return coffee grounds to the earth as valuable natural nutrients.
FLO’s innovation team has developed a pod that optimizes water flow during extraction, delivering a premium sensory experience. Engineered with high-barrier properties, KEYGEA effectively protects against oxidation, preserving the coffee’s aroma and freshness for longer time.
Produced with revolutionary thermoforming technology, KEYGEA weighs only 2.6 g. It is one of the lightest pods on the market but with performance on strength and full compatibility with high-speed filling and sealing lines.
With KEYGEA, these compostable coffee pods are a concrete step towards more responsible consumption and a future with less waste.
