Pw 44846 Farmer First

Leading Canadian coffee roasting company Pistol & Burnes has introduced a fully compostable package for its Farmer First brand. The Fair Trade, organic coffee is packed in a paper bag laminated to transparent NatureFlex™ film from Innovia Films. According to Pistol & Burnes president Roy M Hardy, “Most roasted coffee sold in the world is packaged in either foil bags (coated in plastic) or paper bags (with a plastic liner). These usually end up going straight to landfill, as they can prove difficult to recycle. However our enviro–friendly coffee bag can be organically recycled (composted), which means it breaks down in a home compost bin.”

NatureFlex films are certified to meet the American ASTM D6400, European EN13432, and Australian AS4736 standards for compostable packaging. The wood pulp is sourced from managed plantations. The renewable biobased content of NatureFlex films is typically 95% by weight of material, according to ASTM D6866.
