Wolfgang Puck Coffee Extends Compostability To Single-Serve Packaging

EDMONDS, WA -- All packaging and ingredients for Wolfgang Puck's single-cup coffee pods are now 100% compostable, according to the food company. Its pods have long been made from compostable material, but the introduction of Biodegradable Products Institute Certified 100% compostable film makes the new product and package completely compostable, creating zero waste.The new film combined with a nitrogen-flushed packing process keeps each package free of oxygen, preserving the quality of the freshly ground coffee. The individually wrapped pods are available in 20 varieties.

Unlike biodegradable materials, compostable items decompose into all-natural elements within one to four months. Biodegradable materials can take years to completely decompose, and often leave trace metals behind.

In addition to its compostable coffee packs, some Wolfgang Puck blends are available in EcoCup capsules, compatible with all Keurig K-Cup machines.
