Recycling initiatives continue to be one of the most active sustainability areas driven by challenging plastic pacts around the world that are part of a three-pronged objective to deliver 100% recyclable packaging by 2025. Pending packaging taxes that require 30% recycled content are influencing change as well as the focus on stretching recycling targets.

Swiss multinational food and drink giant Nestlé has launched a new at-home coffee machine, Neo. The coffee pods for the Neo system are paper-based, home-compostable and use 70% less packaging. Through the use of technology, Neo aims to replicate the “coffee shop at home” experience. Its SmartBrew technology combines three brewing methods to create espressos, coffeeshop-like americanos and drip-style coffees, in one single machine, at the touch of a button. The new pods are made from 1g of paper certified by Forest Stewardship Council suppliers with a compostable biopolymer lining to help protect the coffee freshness from oxidation. Nestlé tested over 200 novel material structures before perfecting the paper-based pod. Their proprietary SmartBrew system tunes the extraction parameters for each drink, and can even be personalized through a connected smart phone app.
