Are coffee bags compostable ?

2024-03-13

At present, the Coffee Bag on the market are mainly divided into Plastic Coffee Bag, aluminum foil coffee bag, Paper Coffee Bag, and Biodegradable Coffee Bag.

One of the most well-known reports is the Global Environment Outlook Report released by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), which states that plastic waste in the ocean causes harm to marine life and enters the food chain, posing potential risks to human health. Therefore, people are increasingly leaning towards more environmentally friendly and sustainable coffee packaging, such as kraft paper coffee bag and biodegradable coffee bag.

Can you compost your coffee bag?

As a coffee drinker, leftover bags often pile up in my kitchen. While I was thinking about this, I noticed a small label on the bottom of the coffee bag I purchased: "This bag is biodegradable and compostable. Please remove the tin ties and valve before composting."

Is this bag really compostable? Hence my move towards more sustainable coffee packaging.

Biodegradable Coffee Bags are usually made of natural raw materials, such as starch, cellulose, etc. These materials can degrade quickly in the natural environment and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.

Biodegradable coffee bags are capable of decomposing within a year in a home composting environment. In an industrial composting facility, they can break down in 3 to 6 months.

Our biodegradable coffee bags can be reinforced in multiple layers to ensure the flavor and freshness of your coffee.

Can we customize Biodegradable Packaging bags?

We can customize your biodegradable coffee bags according to your brand and requirements. We use environmentally friendly composite materials,which are 100% degradable and compostable.

Our biodegradable coffee bags are made from:

1. KRAFT PAPER

2. RICE PAPER

3. POLYLATIC ACID (PLA)

PLA is a biodegradable material made from plant raw materials, usually extracted from plant-derived materials such as corn starch. Due to its natural origin, PLA coffee bags can naturally degrade under appropriate environmental conditions (such as high temperature, humidity, etc.) and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment.
