Solinatra has always led the way in truly sustainable materials, and we are pleased to announce that we have received TÜV Austria's compostability certification.
The coffee capsules made from Solinatra were awarded the "OK Industrial Composting Award" by TÜV Austria CERT GmbH, which confirms that 100% natural plant-based capsules are the more environmentally friendly choice.
We have developed natural and plant-based materials as a solution to fossil-based polluting plastics," said Robert de Jong, CEO of Solinatra. This certification confirms that Solinatra is a truly sustainable choice.
Coffee capsules made from Solinatra are 100% natural, plant-based, biodegradable, compostable, and contain zero fossil-derived ingredients and do not leave any microplastics behind. The innovative capsules have high oxygen barrier and water vapor barrier properties, which means the coffee stays fresh every time, providing a perfect brewing experience.
In 2022, more than 70 billion single-cup coffee capsules will be sold worldwide - enough to circle the globe 51 times. Plastic and aluminum capsules require the removal of the cap and coffee grounds before they can be cleaned and recycled. Coffee capsules made from Solinatra can simply be included in the food waste collection, making it easy for consumers to properly dispose of their capsules. The composting of coffee capsules produces a high quality fertilizer compared to plastic or aluminum, resulting in a more circular economy and a reduced environmental impact.
Solinatra has been leading the way with truly sustainable materials, developing innovative grades of materials to replace fossil-based plastics. The patented process converts plant waste from harvested crops and agricultural by-products into biopolymers that run in standard injection molding machinery, enabling manufacturers to make a smooth transition from polluting fossil-based plastics to compostable, recycled solutions.
Solinatra has developed innovative bioplastic materials that are 100% natural, fully biodegradable and compostable, with no microplastics. solinatra is a truly sustainable alternative to personal use plastics for production packaging and products that do not use fossil-based plastics.
