Project Clean Cups has been completed

Project Clean Cups has been completed. We look back on an intensive and educational journey in which we made great strides in the development of compostable coffee pods and biopolymer applications. Thanks to the ERDF for their support, trust, and pleasant cooperation. Due to the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, the market potential for cold- or home-compostable coffee pods unfortunately appears limited. We will take the knowledge and insights gained with us to future innovations.

The term NIR-detectable stands for Near-Infrared Detectable: plastics that can be identified by their material type—such as polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP)—using near-infrared technology. In modern recycling facilities, these materials are scanned and separated using light pulses.

Compostable plastics: M-plastics customers are the first to know

Developments in the field of compostable plastics are very interesting, both technically and economically. For professional horticulture, carrier and growing trays made of compostable plastics have significant advantages in terms of waste processing, ease of labor, and sustainability. They are primarily a sustainable and effective solution for trays that are contaminated with organic material after use – and can therefore no longer be cleaned or recycled.
