Sustainable Capsules

So that Coffee remains a Pleasure

It is undisputed that capsules have great advantages in terms of packaging. It is also undisputed that a capsule that is completely recyclable and has the best characteristics is the superior capsule. Working in collaboration with two partners, we set out to develop packaging that is both completely recyclable and meets the highest standards.

The result is GreenLution - a capsule system that is much more than just a sustainable capsule. Through this successful collaboration, we have shown that our approach to creating greater sustainability together with partners from the entire value chain is the right way to go.

The capsule that we have developed together features a single-material capsule with recyclable lid film and a compatible packaging system. It is based on a polypropylene-based single-material capsule RECY+ Cap made by säntis. This is combined with the fully recyclable WICOGREENLINE top film from Wipf with excellent barrier properties.

The GreenLution capsules are filled using a sustainably designed packaging system by Optima, which in turn is based on the OPTIMA CFL capsule filling machine, and it is precisely adapted to the recyclable capsules. OPTIMA CFL combines high filling accuracy for a variety of types of coffee with minimal space requirements, optimized film utilization, lower energy and gas consumption with maximum efficiency, and a minimum production reject rate of below 0.05 percent. This also means that filling can be made as sustainable as possible. Existing plants can also be suitably retrofitted to make it easy for customers to make the switch to more sustainable products.

Trust is good, inspection is better? We agree, and the capsule system has been certified as recyclable by the cyclos-HTP institute and the environmental service provider Interseroh.
