Why Fresh Coffee Matters
Talk about oxygen and coffee staling and why we chose to use freshness wrappers
Keeping Coffee Fresh
What is a Freshness Wrapper?
Freshness wrappers are a packaging film that act as an outer barrier against oxygen, and other factors that stale coffee.
- Protect coffee from staling
- Ensure consistent freshness and quality
Like many packaging products that require barrier properties (think cereal, chocolate, dairy or almost anything from the center aisle of the grocery store), packaging film used for freshness wrappers are not recyclable or compostable. However, they represent a small fraction of the overall packaging material of the pods – less than 1% of packaging waste.
Compostable** Packaging Innovation
The Next Generation of Compostable** Freshness Wrappers
Coming in 2019, our next generation Compostable** Freshness Wrappers will provide all the same great freshness freatures, but in a Certified 100% Compostable** film.
Field testing is currently underway to ensure the product meets BPI’s strict standards:
- ASTM D6868 standards, including:
- Disintegrates within an established minimum time period
- Produces compost that enables plant growth
- Safe for the environment, no soil toxicity
- Tested for fluorination
- BPI prohibits all carcinogens, reproductive toxins and PBTs
BPI is North America’s leading certifier of compostable products and packaging. Their certification program ensures that products and packaging displaying the BPI logo have been independently tested and verified according to scientifically based standards. They promote best practices for the diversion and recovery of compostable materials through municipal and commercial composting.
