We offer compostable coffee pouch including industrially compostable and home compostable packaging to coffee manufacturers and brands. Our compostable coffee bags are food-grade and durable, with a high barrier structure to preserve aroma and taste of your premium specialty coffee beans.
Also, our eco-friendly biodegradable coffee bags can be fully customized, using water-based inks and gravure printing methods to create a 100% biodegradable packaging. The one-way degassing valve and zipper is also made of PLA or other biodegradable material.
As we konw, all compostable packaging is biodegradable, but not all biodegradable packaging is compostable. The main difference is that compostable packaging undergones strict testing to ensure that they break down within a specific time frame and do not release anything harmful into the environment. To be officially labelled as biodegradable or commercial compostable in complied with ISO, EN or ASTM testing standard, 90% of our compostable coffee pouch can break down within six months in certain condition.
Don't hesitate to embrace eco-friendly packaging with our compostable coffee pouches and contribute to a greener future. Contact us to get a quick quotation/ free samples / packaging consultation.

Industrially Biodegradable Packaging Degrade Conditon and Time
Industrially biodegradable packaging is designed to break down specific environmental conditions in commercial composting facilities. These conditions typically include elevated temperatures (typically 50-60°C/122-140°F), high humidity, and the presence of microorganisms that can metabolize the packaging materials.
To meet biodegradability and compostability testing in the ISO 14855 , EN 13432 and ASTM D6400 standard, at least 90% of the industrially biodegradable packaging material must biodegrade in 3 to 6 months in aerobic conditions.
This rapid degradation ensures that the packaging does not accumulate in landfills or the natural environment, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.
Material of industrially biodegradable coffee pouch
Industrially biodegradable coffee pouches are commonly made from a combination of plant-based materials, such as PLA (polylactic acid) derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, and other biodegradbale materials like Kraft paper, rice paper, NK, PBS, PBAT, etc. Common material structure of biodegradabel coffee pouch: Kraft/PLA, Rice paper/ barrier PLA/ PLA.
These materials are designed to be compatible with commercial composting and anaerobic digestion facilities, where they can break down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass under suitable conditions. By using industrially biodegradable materials, coffee brands can reduce their environmental impact and provide their customers with a more sustainable coffee packaging option.
Certification and Degrade Standard of Biodegradable Packaging
The degradation of industrially biodegradable(commercially compostable) packaging is typically evaluated against established standards and certification programs, such as ASTM D6400 (Standard Specification for Labeling of Plastics Designed to be Aerobically Composted in Municipal or Industrial Facilities) or EN 13432 (Requirements for Packaging Recoverable through Composting and Biodegradation).And the compostable packaging should be certified by BPI nad OK compost INDUSTRIAL.
BPI certification: To be certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), the packaging products must be tested and complies with the ASTM D6400 or ASTM D6868 standards. These standards check how well a product . The standards require the degradation process of the compostable packaging takes180 days or less to breaks down in industrial composting facilities, and should not leave harmful residues behind.
OK compost INDUSTRIAL: This certification is certified by TÜV AUSTRIA. Packaging Certified by OK compost INDUSTRIAL are guaranteed to be biodegradable in an industrial composting plant. They should comply with EN 13432: 2000 standards.

Material of home compostable coffee pouch
Home compostable coffee pouches are often made from a combination of plant-based materials and other compostable polymers that are designed to break down in the less controlled environment of a home compost bin or pile. The specific material lamination may vary, but the goal is to create a sustainbale packaging solution that can be easily disposed of in a home composting system, contributing to a more sustainable waste management approach for coffee consumers.
Home compostable coffee pouch material:
NK
NKME
Kraft paper
PBS
PBAT
Material structure:
2-layer: NK/PBS, NK/PBAT, Kraft/PBAT
3-layer: NK/Kraft/PBAT, Kraft/NK/PBS, NK/NKME/PBS
4-layer: NK/Kraft/NKME/PBAT
Certification and Degrade Standard of Home Compostable Packaging
One of the most globally recognized certification for home compostable packaging products is OK compost HOME, which refers to that packaging products are degradable at low temperatures in home composting.
The conditions of home compost vary from location to location, making it difficult to define typical temperature or humidity parameters, so there are currently no European or international reference standards for home compostability. In this case, to evaluate the compostability of home compost packaging, the most commonly used are the Australian standard AS 5810 and the French standard NF T51-800. It requires that at least 90% of the packaging material degrades in aerobic conditions within 12 months at 25 ± 5°C.
