Industrial Compostable Coffee Bags

Sustainability is always top of mind and we're pleased to offer multiple sustainable solutions for all our current and soon-to-be partners.

Achieving complete circularity and creating a sustainable end-of-life solution isn't easy but we've always been up to the challenge. This year we're proud to have announced the debut of our COMPOST+ packaging AND introduce our new R+R® Upcycling Program partner: HydroBlox. Here's some frequently asked questions regarding COMPOST+ and R+R® Program: What is COMPOST+?

COMPOST+ is an industrial compostable material that was developed by Savor Brands.

Why industrial compostable?

We opted for an industrial compostable material to provide all our partners a sustainable option in the meantime as we work towards fully home compostable packaging.
For transparency, we fully certified our COMPOST+ material with Din Certco.

Why can't I throw the COMPOST+ bag into my green bin?

Industrial compostable packaging must be broken down in a commercial processing facility.
COMPOST+ breaks down at optimal heat temperatures that can only be produced at these facilities.

What's accessories are included in my COMPOST+ Bags and Packaging?

With our COMPOST+ Packaging, you're able to have both a zipper closure AND a degassing valve.
You do not need to cut off either accessory as they are both industrial compostable

What type of inks are used for COMPOST+?

We use high quality sustainable compostable ink so you can enjoy vibrant color that are also free from toxins!

Does the COMPOST+ packaging have a barrier layer?

Yes, we have a certified barrier focused material to safeguard your coffee.

What is the shelf life of COMPOST+ packaging?

Our goal is to keep products packaged in COMPOST+ as fresh as possible and we recommend the following shelf life:
3-4 months for roasted coffee.
Up to 6 months for snacks.

Please check with your local facilities or government regarding their ability to process industrial compostable material.
