The capsule body, developed by Greiner Packaging, preserves the freshness of the coffee and is compatible with conventional coffee capsule machines. This solution offers consumers a more sustainable option without compromising on quality or convenience.
Achieving a high recyclability rate of the packaging’s cardboard and plastic does not depend on proper separation by the end consumer since it now happens completely independently before the used packaging reaches the recycling facility.
“Taking Nomadic’s iconic bowl design and almost literally turning it on its head took some clever engineering, but with sustainability always top of mind for Greiner, being able to create new packaging using less energy is a positive benefit."
Injection-molded cups that until now were made out of PP can now also be offered in up to 100% r-PET – an advantage of which is as much as a four-fold reduction in CO2e emissions compared to other materials.
Greiner has produced packaging solutions for the capsules market for several years, and along the way the company has found ways to make the its products more sustainable.
