Certified Compostable EN13432

Econic bags have been certified to the global standard of EN13432. This certification is for products claiming to be biodegradable or compostable. For further details on what this certification means, visit http://www.bpiworld.org/Default.aspx?pageId=190437

Econic sustainable packaging is comprised of three separate compostable films. These are then laminated together. All films are approved by the EN13432 certification for biodegradability and composting.

Econic coffee bags are a great alternative to existing packaging in the coffee market. They offer sustainable packaging that can be produced in volume without depleting the resources used to manufacture it. The process used to make Econic sustainable packaging uses clean production technologies as well as renewable materials.

One Way Carbon Dioxide Valve

This valve is a great innovation, removing the need for the iconic plastic button you will see on most coffee bags. The vent is at the bottom of the bag, and is almost invisible at a cursory glance. This vent enables carbon dioxide gases to be released from the roasted coffee inside the bag. The vent opens when positive pressure within the bag is activated.
