In the wave of the coffee industry's pursuit of sustainable development, the environmental friendliness of packaging has become the focus of attention of roasters 

and consumers. A fully biodegradable coffee bag from OEMY Packaging aims to provide boutique coffee brands with a more environmentally friendly packaging 

solution while taking into account the need to preserve coffee.

Environmental challenges of coffee packaging

Traditional coffee bags are mostly made of aluminum foil and plastic composite materials. Although they can effectively block oxygen and moisture and 

extend the shelf life of coffee, they are difficult to degrade and eventually become a source of landfill or marine pollution. As consumers' environmental 

awareness increases, more and more roasters are beginning to seek compostable or biodegradable alternatives.

OEMY Packaging's coffee packaging bags are made of plant-based composite materials. The outer layer can be compostable kraft paper, and the inner lining 

is PLA (polylactic acid) bioplastic, which is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch. The entire bag (including valves and zippers) meets compostable 

standards.

Balance of performance and sustainability

OEMY Packaging aims to make packaging both environmentally friendly and meet the technical requirements of coffee preservation. The bags have:

One-way exhaust valve: allows carbon dioxide to be discharged while blocking oxygen from entering to prevent coffee oxidation.

High barrier lining: PLA coating effectively prevents moisture and prolongs the freshness of coffee.

Home composting compatible: no professional facilities are required, and it can also be decomposed in a home composting environment.

Currently, some roasters have begun to try OEMY's packaging. They have also given a lot of positive feedback on OEMY Packaging.

The industry calls for more innovation

Although OEMY's fully degradable bags are a big step forward, the industry is still exploring better solutions. For example, some packaging still needs to 

rely on fossil fuel-based materials to enhance durability, and there are still many functions that need to be optimized.

Consumer choices can drive change. When more brands choose sustainable packaging, the supply chain will accelerate the transition to renewable materials.

How can consumers participate?

Choose coffee brands that use environmentally friendly packaging.

Properly handle packaging: After removing the label, put the bag into a home compost or industrial composting facility.

Today, a green future for the coffee industry is not out of reach. As one industry expert said: “The best packaging is the one that keeps both the coffee and the earth 

fresh for a long time.”
