NEXE Innovations announced that the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) has confirmed that its fully compostable, single-use beverage pod meets the institute’s stringent compostable requirements.
NEXE said its pod will offer the market an environmentally-friendly alternative to the over 80 billion plastic and aluminum pod market.
Its pod has competitive features, including allowing for more volume per pod while delivering an unrivaled “pour-over coffee experience,” the company noted.
"We believe that the BPI Certification, combined with the study done with the University of British Columbia and an independent commercial compost study that was completed at the Surrey Biofuel Facility, the first closed-loop organic waste facility in North America, will provide the industry with confidence that NEXE's compostable products are the ideal green solution to the plastic waste plaguing our environment,” said NEXE president Ash Guglani in a statement.
"NEXE understands that it is one of the only companies that completed an industrial composting study prior to applying for the BPI Certification".
NEXE Innovations is a leader in innovative compostable materials technology based in British Columbia, Canada. The company’s first product is one of the only patented, fully-compostable, single-serve coffee pods for use in existing major single-serve coffee machines.
