TricorBraun announced the launch of its PolyRecycle Store Drop-off recyclable bag. The bag now features a one-way degassing valve specifically designed for packaging fresh coffee. The PolyRecycle was created to meet the coffee industry’s growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions without compromising product freshness, with a valve allowing the release of excess gases while maintaining the integrity of the packaging. It is also now pre-qualified to carry the How2Recycle Store Drop-off label, which makes it easier for consumers to recycle responsibly at participating Store Drop-off locations. The bag has been third-party tested to verify compatibility with The Association of Plastic Recyclers’ (APR) guidelines, the company notes. “TricorBraun Flex is committed to pushing the boundaries of sustainable packaging, and our new Store Drop-off recyclable bag with a one-way degassing valve is ideal for coffee roasters and other industries that require controlled freshness,” said William J. Walters, vice president of product engineering for TricorBraun Flex, in a statement. “It’s a win-win for the environment and the marketplace. Additionally, offering a Store Drop-off recyclable bag with the valve is an innovative way for coffee brands to stay competitive, demonstrating their commitment to product quality and freshness, while meeting consumer demand for eco-friendly packaging.” Additionally key features include barrier protection and a customizable design. The barrier protection shields products from oxygen and moisture for maximum freshness over extended periods, while the customizable design allows brands to choose what fits best for their product, from matte and glossy versions to various sizes.
