Fully Compostable Vented Bag
The Elevate bag
US
A Chicago-based company has developed what they say is the first fully compostable vented coffee bag.
Elevate Packaging now sells the silver one-pound bag made with bioplastic film. The material is certified home compostable and has received the OK Compost seal from third-party certifier Vincotte thus meeting European biodegradability standards, the company says.
“The bags have been engineered and tested with leading roasters’ cupping tests to prove that they perform on par to conventional high-barrier metalized film pouches,” Elevate said in a statement.
The bags are available with or without a valve.The company now delivers the bags with its fully compostable label products and it says custom-printed bags will be available later this year.
