Melitta, the global leader in coffee preparation, has announced new certifications and sustainable packaging initiatives as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship. The company has obtained two prestigious certifications: the Biodegradable Products Institute® (BPI) certification and the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC)® certification. Additionally, all packaging for Melitta cone filter boxes is made with 100% recycled paperboard.
The BPI certification confirms that Melitta’s cone coffee filters are crafted using materials that are compostable in commercial facilities that accept compostable products. This allows coffee lovers to enjoy their favourite brew while actively participating in efforts to reduce waste and protect the environment.
Melitta’s partnership with the Forest Stewardship Council ensures that the paper used in its cone coffee filters is sourced from responsibly managed forests. This contributes to the preservation of ecosystems and the livelihoods of local communities by prioritising sustainable forestry practices.
Donna Gray, Sustainability Director at Melitta, commented: “As a brand dedicated to sustainability as one of our guiding values, we continue to innovate within our supply chain to align with stringent global standards set by organisations like the FSC and BPI.”
