Bio-Caps GmbH, a pioneer in developing sustainable packaging solutions, has recently achieved a significant milestone: their HOME coffee capsules for the Nespresso system have also been awarded the prestigious BPI certification. This certification confirms that both the capsules and the lid materials are fully biodegradable under industrial composting conditions.
The certification by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) follows strict ASTM standards for industrial composting. These internationally recognized guidelines require that products decompose completely in industrial composting facilities within a specified timeframe.
This recognition is complemented by a series of other certificates such as those from DIN CERTCO, TÜV Austria, and the Australian Bioplastics Association, which certify the comprehensive compostability of the capsules in both industrial and home composting facilities. This variety of certifications underscores Bio-Caps GmbH's commitment to eco-friendly solutions and offers coffee lovers around the world a sustainable alternative.
The BPI certification allows Bio-Caps GmbH to set new standards in the industry and consolidate its leading role in the development of products that meet both modern consumer demands and environmental regulations.
This achievement marks an important step for Bio-Caps GmbH in its journey to reduce the ecological footprint of disposable products and support the principles of the circular economy.
