In a three-way collaboration, German coffee producer Tchibo is introducing a bio-based capsule for its Qbo brand made from 70% second-generation renewable raw materials. The feedstock for the capsules is supplied by Finland-based Neste and will be converted into capsules by Berry Superfos. These second-generation renewable raw materials are manufactured using organic waste and by-products, such as tall oils from forestry, waste fats from the fast-food industry and vegetable fats from cooking oil production. These materials go into producing PP polymers with the same quality as virgin PP, and it is claimed that the consumer won’t see or taste any difference. Tchibo say that they chose Berry Superfos for the project as it has experience with their products and holds the required ISCC PLUS certification to produce the capsules from renewable materials.
