Smile Coffee Werks, a public benefit corporation, has unveiled compostable coffee pods made from renewable raw materials. The patented technology utilizes an ultrasonic sealed paper lid, paper filter and plant-based, BPA-free cup, creating a commercially compostable coffee product; a seamless fit for waste-conscious consumers, private labels, retailers and hospitality groups alike.
The pods are compatible with Nespresso® classic style coffee makers, BPI-certified and commercially compostable in 12 weeks. Made from 90 percent renewable plant-based products, the pods are the first carbon neutral, single step disposal product to hit the market. Smile Coffee Werks is available for purchase at sbwerks.com in compatible 100% Arabica Espresso pods (16 count, $10.99). Smile plans to unveil Keurig® compatible K-Cups in spring 2020.
“Single-serve coffee is hugely popular and convenient, but creates tremendous waste to our environment,” says Frank Schuster, co-founder of Smile Coffee Werks. “Coffee consumers can now purchase commercially compostable products, a guilt-free way to enjoy your daily cup of joe.”
