ACTEcoat® FOR OUTSTANDING COFFEE CAPSULES

Coffee capsules continue to gain ground

Since they came onto the market over 40 years ago, the trend towards coffee capsules has been unbroken. The coffee capsule serves the convenience idea and impresses with its portionability according to need. An advantage that is particularly beneficial in smaller households. Another trend that can be observed is that aluminum coffee capsules are replacing plastic capsules. This is not only due to the change in regulations for plastic packaging, but also due to aroma protection.

Aluminum offers excellent barrier properties and ensures that the full aroma of the coffee is retained.

Here you can find our product solutions for your coffee capsules.

Recycling of aluminum

Aluminum is a circular material, capable of being recycled multiple times without losing its original properties.
In Europe, the recycling rate for aluminum is partly over 90%. Today, more aluminum is recovered from the cycle than from the primary sector.
Recycling aluminum requires only 5% of the energy needed to produce primary aluminum, resulting in significant CO2 savings. In addition, recycling reduces emissions.

This optimizes the life cycle assessment of aluminum products in terms of energy and water consumption, raw material consumption, emissions, waste generation and disposal.

We are looking forward to discussing your individual requirements with you.
