The capsule is made from the material Golden Compound green. This comprises an organically based material and ground natural fibres from sunflower seed shells.
The capsule and filter fleece are completely biodegradable in the garden compost within a maximum of six months, and are free from aluminium and genetically modified organisms. ALPLA provides its customers with the capsule and the garden-compostable lid.
The first user in the world is Amann Kaffee from Vorarlberg, Austria.
The coffee roaster is presenting the new product as part of the ‘Gustav – fair for consumer culture’ trade fair in the Dornbirn trade fair district from 19 to 21 October.
Golden Compound will also be represented at the industry trade fair Fakuma in Friedrichshafen (Hall B4, Booth 4114) from 16 October.Biodegradable coffee capsule Home Compostable

Composting the capsule generates humus, and the coffee grounds contain valuable plant nutrients such as potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen.
The material also has excellent characteristics, as confirmed by numerous certificates: the oxygen barrier is comparable with conventional plastics such as PP-EVOH-PP.
The monolayer coffee capsule is thus aroma-proof without outer packaging. Furthermore, Golden Compound green is certified in line with the standards ‘OK compost HOME’ and ‘OK biodegradable SOIL’ from TÜV.Biodegradable coffee capsule Home Compostable
