Metal-free Recyclable Coffee Bag

摘要

One of the Diamond Finalist awards went to Colombia's Alico for a metal-free and recyclable coffee bag. Among the very first to commercialize this pre-made bag was Pergamino Coffee of Medellin, Colombia. According to Alico Purchasing Manager Christina Rendon, Alico has been optimizing its metal-free pouch-making technology for some time now. The whole idea, of course, is to remove the aluminum foil layer so that the packaging material fits neatly into the well-established recycle stream that already exists for polyethylene.
