Products and packaging

In addition to the responsible procurement of raw materials and the efficient management of the production site, particular attention is given to product design.
In 2022, 45% of the volume of production single portion consists of coffee in compostable pods (certificate CIC - Consorzio Italiano Compostatori) from and distributed in a wrapping easily recyclable like paper (ATICELCA certificate - Italian Cellulose and Paper Technical Association).
Caffè Borbone has launched a new line of compostable capsules, made in biopolymer, with filter paper top. The product range also includes aluminum and plastic caps.
Finally, coffee sold as ground or in beans through e-commerce qualifies as "Climate Pledge Friendly” due to packaging design efficient for shipping.
The paper and cardboard used for packaging are FSC MIX certified, with at least 70% FSC certified materials, i.e. coming from sustainably managed forests, or recycled, according to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council.
All the packages marketed report clear and detailed information, also facilitated by QR codes that refer to dedicated web pages, for the correct management of post-consumer waste, in order to fully benefit from the compostability and recyclability characteristics of the products.
