Time for a coffee break? Every second, 25 liters of coffee are consumed worldwide. A big market – also for coffee capsules. However, the majority of capsules available in the market are made of aluminum or plastic and end up in residual waste. That's why BASF has developed a coffee capsule in cooperation with the French company Capsul'in, from the biodegradable plastic ecovio® IA1652 that is certified compostable and biodegradable. BASF and Capsul'in were awarded the Pierre Potier Innovation Prize yesterday for this sustainable innovation. The prize is awarded from the Association of the Chemical Industry (UIC) in France and promotes the development of sustainable approaches for the daily life of consumers.
