Coffee capsules & pods<br />
biopolymere.<br />
6. Kooperationsforum mit Fachausstellung<br />
a manufacturer of automatic packaging machinery<br />
and coffee capsules (headquartered in Bologna,<br />
Italy), selected us as a project partner. The aim of<br />
LIFE-PLA4Coffee project was to validate PLA based<br />
compound formulations with improved functional<br />
properties for the production of compostable<br />
coffee capsules. This interesting and productive<br />
collaboration has helped us to deepen our knowledge<br />
about the specific needs of this sector.<br />
How does your experience help<br />
customers to decide whether to invest in<br />
biodegradable solutions?<br />
We have a long and deep knowledge in diverse<br />
application fields like packaging, footwear, automotive<br />
and technical products. We understand the complexity<br />
of many different applications so when customers<br />
approach us asking about biodegradable solutions<br />
for specific applications, our experience enables<br />
us to evaluate the technical feasibility and provide<br />
advice on environmental benefits and suitability for<br />
each single application. We do not support projects<br />
in which the use of biodegradable solutions does not<br />
constitute a measurable environmental advantage.<br />
In addition we support our customers on legal<br />
framework conditions, which can vary depending on<br />
country and application.<br />
Over the years and through joint developments with<br />
customers, combined with our technology expertise,<br />
we have expanded our biodegradable compounds<br />
portfolio, ranging from low to high rigidity, to meet a<br />
wide spectrum of requirements for packaging and<br />
agricultural applications. MT<br />
