Ahlstrom, a global leader in fiber-based specialty materials, has claimed to have launched an innovative solution for the coffee pod market, GreenPod Home, which has received the official OK compost HOME certification from TÜV Austria.
The certification confirms that GreenPod Home range can break down and biodegrade in domestic conditions, leaving no toxic residues or persistent microplastics behind. It enables converters and brand owners to develop GreenPod solutions that consumers can compost at home.
The GreenPod Home portfolio will be compatible with all common converting lines and will offer optimal brewing performance.
“Demand for sustainable alternatives drives innovation in coffee markets. Although Ahlstrom was already able to offer industrially compostable solutions to the market, this home compostable patent-pending solution is a major step forward that reinforces Ahlstrom’s strong credentials in biodegradable fiber-based solutions for coffee applications,” says Patrice Blanc, head of R&D at Ahlstrom.
“Aligned with Ahlstrom’s sustainability priorities and incoming stronger regulations within the food packaging industry, we are committed to becoming the market reference in sustainability and to offer our customers a complete portfolio of heat-sealable and non-heat-sealable home compostable tea and coffee solutions,” says Philippe Sevoz, vice president, Beverage and Casing.
