The Zero Impact capsule is completely plant-based and does not contain materials derived from fossil fuels. After use, the capsule can be put in a home compost bin or collected with organic waste.
The product premiered today at the AMI Single Serve virtual conference, presented by company CEO Laurent Lombart. Capsul’in Pro has spent 5 years developing the technology to be the first company to solve the challenge of making a coffee capsule that is both biobased and has a high oxygen barrier.
Laurent Lombart said, “Today, thanks to Capsul’in Pro’s IML Zero Impact capsule, consumers can have a more sustainable, home compostable coffee capsule with an excellent result in cup. Consumers now have more coffee capsule choices for a more sustainable everyday life. We are committed to shifting a significant share of the coffee capsule market to our Zero Impact capsules.”
Zero Impact refers to the capsule’s Zero Impact on fossil resources. This new capsule is in line with the European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan which aims to reduce the environmental impact of packaging by 2030.
