Sustainability
Inlabs produces environmentally friendly, biodegradable capsules.
The climate-neutral and biodegradable capsules are a sustainable alternative to the harmful plastic and aluminium capsules used by traditional players in the coffee market. The capsules are extremely popular and consist of more than 96% reusable raw materials. The capsules compost at 12 weeks and can be disposed of with residual waste. These biodegradable capsules make us unique in the market. Sustainability is at the forefront of our minds. Inlabs breathes 'health'.
Our 5 basic principles for more sustainable packaging:
- Reduce: We keep the weight and volume of your package to a minimum
- Reuse: We choose packaging that you can easily reuse
- Replace: Packaging with a high environmental impact or non-recyclable packaging is replaced with sustainable alternatives
- Renew: We opt for packaging on the basis of biomass
- Recycling: We support the circular economy model
