WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THIS?

First, you should cut each capsule and the bamboo containers into smaller pieces. This allows microorganisms to work more effectively and break down the coffee and capsules. These tiny organisms generate the heat that is important for the composting process. The more microorganisms there are, the better the compost works.

To support your compost, you can also add other organic waste such as food scraps, rabbit food, cornstarch, or sawdust. Depending on the quality of your compost, it can take 4 to 12 months for the capsules to fully decompose. But don’t worry—nature is working hard on it!

Alternatively, you can send the used capsules to our partner Santokom. They are experts in recycling and composting and will be happy to take care of the capsules for you. For more information, please visit www.santokom.ch.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE PLANET.

The world has a serious waste problem—plastic and aluminum are scattered everywhere.

Modern coffee consumption unfortunately contributes to this issue. We are tackling this problem with coffee that is packaged without plastic or aluminum, organically grown, and 100% climate neutral.

In recent years, we have introduced many packaging innovations to ensure that our coffee can be fully returned to the natural cycle.

Our understanding of zero waste

Our coffee should not add to the world’s waste problem. That’s why we are working to ensure that none of our coffee packaging leaves any residues after use. For our coffee capsules, aroma protection pouches, and E.S.E. pads, we rely on certified home-compostable solutions that protect coffee quality while being completely biodegradable.

The outer packaging also contributes to our zero-waste concept: the capsule boxes made from bamboo and cassava are likewise home-compostable. Our roasted coffee and E.S.E. pad bags are aluminum-free and feature bands made from recyclable FSC-certified paper.
