Choose your solution
Each business along the value chain has different priorities — from small-batch testing to global retail rollout. Choose yours:
- Roasteries: start your own compostable capsule line with low minimum quantities and turnkey filling support.
- Fillers: Depending on your filling line, modifications could be necessary to fill bio-based, home-compostable capsules at industrial speeds.
- Supermarkets & Private Label: Launch your certified capsule range with a proven, European supply chain.
