Fresh Coffee. Sustainable Choice.
Coffee that comes in capsules has become popular in (an integral part of) modern-day living (Life).
All you need is a coffee machine, a coffee pod/capsule and you can make café quality espresso in seconds. Nonetheless, despite its practicality, single-serve coffee pods are currently posing a huge threat to the environment. These pods are typically made from plastic or aluminium and can take 150 to 500 years for them to break down in landfill.
Do you know it is estimated that more than 56 billion coffee capsules will go to landfill around the world this year alone? This figure is not good news for the earth, or individuals and businesses wishing to go green and reduce their carbon footprint.
Is there a solution?
Yes! Boca Espresso offers a new lifestyle and solution to enjoy great coffee without worrying about contributing to global warming. Founded in 2017 by Chris Beachley, Boca Espresso focuses on providing the best, earth-friendly, single-serve coffee products made in Indonesia using only Indonesian coffee.
They have recently launched their new range of 100% compostable, climate-neutral Nespresso* compatible coffee capsules (pods). These coffee capsules (pods) work in any standard Nespresso* coffee machine with the added benefit of being earth-friendly.
These pods are made of a bioplastic called ‘’Terrablend’’ which is trademarked and certified by Climate Partners as C02 climate-neutral and OK COMPOST by TÜV Austria (previously known as Vinçotte). You might be asking yourself, what is bioplastic? Bioplastic is a substance made from organic vegetable oils, cellulose and starches. This organic material can start to decompose naturally subsequently one week after disposal.
Boca Espresso also goes the extra miles to reduce carbon emission by producing these pods using energy from wind, hydropower, sun and biogas. Thus, conserving energy and resources at every step of the process.
