Circular innovation for sustainable coffee packaging
Blue Circle stands for biodegradable and home-compostable packaging innovations developed by ALPLA. With Blue Circle Coffee Capsules, coffee enjoyment becomes part of the natural cycle — combining sustainability, performance, and flavour.
The philosophy behind Blue Circle
We believe that sustainable packaging should not be a compromise. Blue Circle unites innovation, responsibility, and taste — reducing waste while preserving product quality. The brand represents ALPLA’s commitment to developing the next generation of packaging materials: solutions that protect the product, respect the planet, and perform in real life.
Shaping the circular future
Blue Circle is part of the ALPLA Group, a global leader in plastic packaging. ALPLA has been advancing sustainable solutions for over 70 years and is committed to a vision that balances economic performance with environmental responsibility.
4 R's: Replace, reduce, Reuse and Recycle
To achieve this, ALPLA follows the four Rs of the New Plastics Economy:
Replace
Replace
With Blue Circle, ALPLA offers compostable products as a replacement for conventional applications. After use, they can simply be composted, eliminating the need for time-consuming collection, sorting and processing.
Reduce
Reduce
Another important measure for achieving a sustainable plastics economy is reduction. Advances in development enable substantial savings in the weight of plastic packaging without compromising functionality or ease of use. They also enable efficient production, which saves energy and thus CO₂ emissions.
Reuse
Reuse
Plastic packaging that can be used multiple times reduces the demand for raw materials and has a positive impact on the carbon footprint. For example, reusable PET bottles can be reused around 30 times before they are recycled.
Recycle
Recycle
Plastics are highly recyclable. They can be collected and reprocessed many times before their material and quality properties change fundamentally. As a company with its own recycling facilities, we view initiatives to increase collection rates very positively.
Looking for an end consumer solution?
For end consumers, Blue Circle has united various roasting companies that care about sustainability in one webshop. The coffees of all roasting companies were filled in Blue Circle's home-compostable coffee capsules. On this platform, which combines sustainable coffee enjoyment with a good conscience, we also offer roasting companies contract filling as a service. So it's worth stopping by!
