EUBP calls on legislators to appropriately recognise the role of compostable coffee capsules in the PPWR

The results of the Wageningen University & Research study complement the European Commission’s own Impact Assessment that accompanied the PPWR proposal last year, according to which compostable coffee capsules significantly increase the capture rate of biowaste, reduce the contamination of compost with non-compostable plastics, and do not lead to increased contamination of other waste streams.

EUBP regrets the position adopted today by the Environment Ministers in the Environment Council, deeming the failure to recognise the role of bioplastics a missed opportunity.
