Coffee Packaging Trends and Key Challenges
Demand for recyclable, mono-material options is increasing as packaging regulations become more stringent, and out-of-home consumption is also increasing as the post-pandemic era arrives. YPAK is observing a growing demand for recyclable and home-compostable packaging options, as well as interest in smart materials.
Future Legislative Challenges
YPAK provides sustainable and innovative packaging solutions for the coffee and tea industry. The company's portfolio includes a range of flexible packaging, cups, lids and coffee pods for both shelf and mobile applications. YPAK also offers paper and fiber materials, from cups and lids used in coffee shops and restaurants to home-compostable coffee capsules.
While consumer demand for more sustainable packaging has been developing for a long time, the need and demand for such solutions has accelerated in recent years.“This is also related to legislative changes and policy debates in many markets around the world.”
YPAK expects the main trends to be related to legislative regulations on single-use plastics and customers' commitment to reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging. “We have a comprehensive range of products designed to support the transition from non-recyclable to recyclable packaging materials, as well as fully paper-based coffee and tea solutions at scale,”
YPAK’s recyclable flexible packaging solutions offer best-in-class barrier and plug-and-play performance for customer packaging lines. Within YPAK’s on-the-go packaging solutions, there is a focus on sustainable, renewable materials in packaging and the expansion of new collection streams to ensure these recycled materials are reused according to their potential.
Make consumers part of the journey
Consumers are increasingly interested in understanding the journey of their products. Packaging that communicates transparency and provides traceability, showing the origin and production process of the coffee is also likely to gain traction. Integrating technology into packaging, such as smart labels or QR codes that provide coffee origin information, brewing instructions or interactive content, is likely to become more prevalent.
In response to these trends, YPAK is working on how to provide customers with the most sustainable products. The new coffee pod cover allows brands to personalize the entire coffee pod, allowing brands to communicate their sustainability message directly on the coffee pod itself.
Compostability debate
The compostability claim has recently been criticized, leaving consumers confused about how to dispose of the packaging. Furthermore, industry experts often find that packaging is not compostable unless the right conditions are provided.
YPAK designs compostable packaging as the "ultimate solution" to the plastic packaging crisis. Therefore, we take the safe disposal of our products very seriously. YPAK products meet the highest level of certification and can be disposed of in home composters or industrial composters certified by TÜV Austria, TÜV OK Compost Home and ABA. We ensure that our packaging contains clear disposal instructions and work with the retailers we supply to ensure that this information is successfully communicated to the end consumer.
