Sustainable Coffee Pod Packaging: Brewing a Greener Future

At Eco Friendly Boxes, we understand that the coffee industry thrives on convenience—but single-use plastics and non-recyclable pods are costing the planet. That’s why we’ve developed eco-friendly coffee pod packaging that lets coffee brands deliver guilt-free indulgence.

Whether you’re a specialty roaster, a subscription service, or a café sourcing compostable pods, our solutions ensure your coffee’s journey—from bean to cup—aligns with sustainability.

Why Coffee Pod Packaging Needs a Revolution

• Over 40 billion coffee pods end up in landfills yearly—many taking 500+ years to decompose.
• Consumers demand change: 65% of coffee drinkers prefer brands using recyclable or compostable pods (Nielsen, 2023).
• Your Opportunity: Lead the shift with packaging that’s as sustainable as your brew.

Are there any packaging options available?

Packaging coffee capsules can be a challenge. The materials need to be durable, while the design needs to protect the materials and appeal to customers. At Eco Friendly Boxes UK, we can customise capsule boxes to meet your brand’s ethical and sustainable commitments.

Our coffee capsule boxes can be made directly to specification, ensuring that each capsule is delivered in pristine condition. In addition, we choose to include a cardboard box stand to virtually guarantee a superior unboxing experience.
