About

The TERRIFIC project has produced injection-moulded coffee capsules using compostable packaging materials made from sugars derived from agricultural sidestreams. The materials are designed to contain more than 95% renewable resources.

The capsules preserve coffee freshness and flavour while providing the thermal resistance required during preparation. The project is also assessing several end-of-life routes, including recycling, composting, repulping and anaerobic digestion.

Key benefits

  • Replaces fossil-based plastic with renewable materials
  • Protects freshness, flavour and product quality
  • Supports several potential end-of-life routes

Application

  • Coffee capsules
