Sustainable coffee packaging Episode4

Food packaging bags pouches and coffee packaging bags pouches require more recycling than before.

In those countries that are already very mature, professional coffee baking shops often face tremendous pressure, asking them to become more environmentally friendly, not only from the government and consumers. According to a report from British waste company Viridor, more than 60% of consumers said they are more likely to buy recyclable plastic packaging bags, and 49% of consumers say they will pay more for these recyclable plastic packaging materials. Therefore, compared with those countries that are not prioritized, in countries with a strong recycling culture, bakers use the motivation of recycling packaging bags and film rolls.

However, the difficulty of recovery of coffee packaging depends on government regulations that protect and support the initiative. In Guatemala, the government has begun to monitor the types of plastic packaging materials that can be sold with certain products. “We now have regulations to encourage leather paper packaging instead of plastic packaging,” a environmentalist said. Similarly, the law introduced in 2018 means that EU countries will be required to recover at least 55% of urban waste by 2025, 60% of the recovery by 2030, and 65% by 2035. As part of it, the local authorities will get more funds into recycling facilities, making it easier for consumers to recover their coffee packaging and food packaging. Producers will also encourage manufacturers to provide information on the packaging to guide consumers to handle their plastic packaging and paper packaging correctly. Professional coffee roasters can add this information on the label or the side of the coffee bag to facilitate customers as much as possible. If they have any sustainability certification, these can also be included.

For roasters, recyclable and environmentally friendly coffee packaging bags pouches are much more important than ever. This helps to limit their impact on the environment and show their commitments on sustainability. In some countries, abiding by government regulations may even be necessary. No matter how deep the environmental protection concept or the specific implementation of the social responsibility of the big brand, only the sustainable packaging material is used to promote the production party and the brand at a relatively low price to replace the existing aluminum foil composite packaging or paper plastic packaging. Excessive cost increases will not affect the value or price of the packaging pouch itself, so consumers will not pay for it. In this case, how to allow social subjects to formulate effective environmental protection and recycling rules, and make each link benefit in a value transmission to truly realize the “social value” of recycling packaging. Coffee packaging in this field should be the best Pioneers and demonstrations!
