Back in 2018, HOMEcap the first home-compostable coffee capsule revolutionised the market. The innovative capsule, made from home-compostable bioplastic and sunflower seed hulls, impressed with its sustainable concept. However, rumours of an unpleasant odour from the sunflower seed hulls clouded the capsule's success.
New formulation for improved barrier properties
We responded to this feedback by investing in the new development of the HOMEcap . The result is a GC green alternative that works completely without sunflower seed hulls. At the same time, this material has the best barrier properties for home compostable coffee capsules currently available on the market.
Optimised sealing film for maximum freshness
What would a capsule be without a good seal? We have already launched an excellent sealing film for coffee capsules, which is also popular with our competitors. Together with the capsule, the sealing film and the coffee it contains, the capsules are fully certified by TÜV Austria.
But it can be even better, so the sealing film has also been studied and improved. The new film has optimised brewing times, allowing even more flavour to be extracted from the coffee. Certification is still pending, but will soon be underway, so the best home-compostable coffee capsule will soon meet an even better sealing film.
Neutral in taste and free from undesirable flavours
Contrary to popular belief, the HOMEcap does not affect the taste or smell of the coffee in any way. The materials used are completely neutral in taste and free from unwanted odours. This has been confirmed by sensory tests carried out by ISEGA Forschungs- und Untersuchungsgesellschaft mbH. Anyone who can still smell sunflowers has probably never really smelt them.
Individual colour design with certified masterbatch colours
For an individual look and brand recognition we offer the possibility to colour the HOMEcap in 10 different certified masterbatch colours. The masterbatches are certified by TÜV Austria for OK-Compost-Home, OK-Biodegradable-Soil and OK-Compost-Industrial.
HOMEcap: Sustainable coffee enjoyment with a clear conscience
The HOMEcap barrier is the perfect choice for coffee lovers who value sustainability and maximum coffee enjoyment. It offers an environmentally friendly and convenient alternative to traditional aluminium or plastic coffee capsules, with excellent barrier properties and neutral taste.
