How to Select the Best Packaging for Your Coffee Beans: A Complete Guidance to Coffee Companies 【 Excerpt 】 Choosing the best packaging for your coffee is about a lot more than just an attractive design – although that’s important too. Your packaging is what keeps your coffee fresh for longer, meaning it has a direct impact on the taste of those coffee beans you’re selling. It’s also what you have to work with every single day. And it’s what your customer will picture when they hear your name. So that means you really need to get the packaging right. Of course, there isn’t one right type of packaging – it depends on various factors such as the scale of your business, your filling processes, and what you customers are like. So what major factors should you consider when selecting your coffee bean packaging ? We would like to share six factors for your reference. If you take them into account, you’re sure to choose the best packaging for your business.   1. POUCH STYLES T

What Are the Benefits of Biodegradable Plastic?

Image
One major problem with plastic is that it often takes an extremely long time for it to break down once discarded, leading to massive problems with landfill waste and posing a danger to wildlife. Biodegradable plastics use alternate materials or specialized enzymatic or chemical reactions to break down the material quickly once exposed to the elements. This technology offers a number of advantages over traditional plastic materials.   Waste Reduction Plastic makes up around 13 percent of the waste stream, representing 32 million tons of waste. While around 9 percent of that plastic goes into recycling programs, the remainder enters landfills, where it takes up space for hundreds of years or more. Biodegradable plastics, on the other hand, may break down over the course of several months, depending on the materials involved and the conditions of their disposal. While not every form of landfill-friendly biodegradable plastic will completely break down, any reduction in the space req

World’s Trend of Food Packaging towards Compostable Pouch

Image
Tons of non-decomposable plastic wastes are discarded every day. This has made serious impacts on the global environment and human health. In order to change this, governments and enterprises around the world have taken a series of actions to help people turn to using self-decomposed products instead of plastic ones.   Packaging like compostable pouch or biodegradable pouch is becoming the packaging trends which will have a greater impact on customers’ decisions and will be more critical to product and brand success as well as enable effective differentiation in the future.   Going Green – Compostable Pouches are popular   The scientists specified that the sunlight-free decomposition process of plastic bags can take from 500 to 1,000 years. Even when they have decomposed into the soil, polyethylene will make the soil inert and not keep water and essential nutrients for crops. Because of containing lead, cadmium, (in the ink creating colors on packages), plastic bags can d

Food Packers Should Shun Recycled Plastics - Safety First!

Image
Europe exports 60% of plastics and 13% of paper collected for recycling to China - but this has ended. China has banned imports of 24 categories of waste, citing environmental concerns. European recyclers saw a huge opportunity.   The European Commission is due to announce its Plastics Strategy in January, aimed among other things at increasing the rate of plastic recycling (currently at 30%), stopping leakage into the environment, and encouraging the use of recycled materials.   However , the risk of toxic substances contaminating food already exists with virgin plastic, so it will only be higher with recycled packaging coming from old plastics that may contain banned chemicals, says Floriana Cimmarusti.   Packaging manufacturers like BPS, East West Packaging and PACQUEEN have stayed away from using recycled plastics in food packaging until now because of safety concerns. Instead of using recycled materials, these companies are dedicated to developing and producing fully r

How Can Businesses Cash In on the Benefits of Compostable Pouch

These bags are made of vegetable matter, such as potato starch or cornstarch. Once these bags are exposed to enough moisture, they will start the process of composting — along with whatever other organic materials you have inside of them.   Benefits of Compostable Pouches on the Brand Image One of the less talked about business benefits of compostable bags is the green image it can project to your customer. Today, a growing number of customers are appreciating and favoring business that make efforts to protect the environment. A Nielsen global online study found that approximately 51% of Baby Boomers will pay more for products and services from companies who are committed to social change and environmental impact. If you're looking for ways to increase profits and impact your bottom line, utilizing compostable bags and sharing your organization's green initiatives may be an excellent way to get started.   Reduce Carbon Brand's Carbon Footprint One of the mos

No More Plastic Stunts! Choose Real Sustainable Packaging!

Corona, the Anheuser-Busch InBev beer brand, recently built a "trash wall" on Ipanema Beach made from plastic collected on the famous Brazilian beach in just three days. The stunt followed the "wave of waste" sculpture that the same brand also made, again from plastic rubbish, and a host of similar awareness-raising initiatives by others, including a 50-foot-long plastic-waste sculpture of a dead whale, courtesy of Greenpeace Philippines.   Now you might think brands that are building installations out of plastic waste are doing a brilliant thing to highlight, and therefore reduce, the damage that excessive use of plastic packaging and lack of recycling does to the environment. But if you do, you’d be wrong.   As a creative idea, it’s arguably becoming – much like those "float it up the Thames" or "fire it into space" ideas that went before it – a hackneyed and obvious PR stunt. Far worse, though, it’s a way of distracting consumers from

The food packaging bag industry has gone through some considerable changes over the years. As the demands of the global food trade grew and shifted, so have the packages that hold food products. The industry is in the middle of another shift today. The future of food packaging seems to be leaning towards sustainability. This shift comes after years of growing influences from a variety of sources. But to fully understand where the industry is going, it helps you to know how it got here.   From Plastic to Plastic Free: How Realistic? One of the world leading sustainable packaging manufacturers, BPS has launched a variety of biodegradable pouches since 2018. After 2 years’ application to food industries, these compostable pouches prove to function just as good as most plastic-laminated pouches. According to the technical director of BPS, these biodegradable and compostable pouches are made from plant-based materials, available in regular as well as high barrier protection. The
