Halo eyes European expansion with 100% compostable coffee pods: ‘Ours is a totally natural product’ UK start-up Halo Coffee is preparing to expand into continental Europe with its compostable coffee pods that are produced from a by-product of sugar cane processing. The company believes that this offers an important point of difference that will help empower consumers to tackle a pain point in the plastics problem.
Almost 60bn coffee pods are produced annually and the global market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.72%. However, only around 29% of coffee pods are currently recycled properly.
“The majority of capsules are not recycled properly due to insufficient and un-easy to reach recycling centres plus a lack of understanding by the consumer of which bin can take which type of capsule without contaminating the stream,” Halo Coffee co-founder David Foster explained, noting that stream contamination is when a recycling stream is compromised.
