The Compostable Coffee Bag You’ve Been Waiting For!

Eco-Friendly Coffee Just Got Even Better:
100% Compostable Coffee Packaging with Compostable Valve

At Elevate Packaging we’ve been working hard to develop a high-performance coffee bag made with certified compostable films. Our compostable coffee bags and pouches have a high barrier layer for oxygen and moisture, plus every component is compostable!

 No compromise. Every component, including the zipper and valve, certified compostable

Sustainable Coffee Requires Eco-Friendly Packaging

The coffee industry has a complex supply chain. For many coffee retailers, particularly organic and fair-trade coffee roasters,  sustainable sourcing is crucial at every step! Finding eco-friendly packaging that authentically aligns with a sustainable brand promise has long been a challenge for coffee retailers.

Coffee requires durable high-performance packaging. Coffee beans are sensitive to external influences - packaging must block out moisture, UV Rays, and oxygen in order to keep the coffee fresh and tasting its best. Coffee packaging also needs to be airtight, which requires a one-way degassing valve to let out excess CO 2 after the beans are roasted.

Biodegradable Coffee Bags

Many of the currently available biodegradable or “compostable” coffee bags require extra work for disposal. Some are marketed as biodegradable, which is not the same as being compostable. Biodegradable packaging is not required to be tested or validated, and in fact may not be eco-friendly at all!

Biodegradable Vs Compostable - What’s the Difference?

Many of these coffee bags also include non-compostable parts, such as a plastic valve or lining made from materials such as polyethylene. These must be removed before composting as they will contaminate the composting process. That’s a lot of extra work for a less than desirable option!
