Coffee is more than just a product. From the moment it is roasted to the time it is brewed, it is an experience that depends heavily on the right packaging to preserve its special aroma, flavour, and freshness.
Traditionally, these needs have been met by using complex multilayer structures, often containing aluminium. Such films provide effective barriers but are difficult to recycle in conventional recycling streams. Moreover, traditional structures also present a challenge for achieving circular packaging goals as they fall outside the recyclability scope defined by the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
Designed for coffee, built for the future
Estiko’s monomaterial pouch solutions provide a forward-thinking alternative. Designed for recycling (D4R) without sacrificing performance, our packaging structures offer high oxygen and moisture barriers, essential for preserving coffee’s unique characteristics. By replacing the aluminium layer with recyclable PE or PP-based monostructures, we deliver an ideal balance between functionality and sustainability.
The addition of the valve applicator further streamlines the production process, allowing brands to incorporate functional packaging features with greater efficiency. The integrated one-way degassing valve allows carbon dioxide to escape after roasting while preventing oxygen from entering – a vital function for maintaining coffee’s high quality and shelf life. This feature is now available across Estiko’s doybag, flat bottom, and quadro seal pouch formats, giving brands a range of recyclable, high-performance options tailored to their product and positioning.
With recyclable mono-materials, aroma-preserving barrier performance, and valve integration, Estiko delivers a future-ready coffee packaging solution that meets both regulatory and consumer expectations.
