WHAT ARE YOUR CAPSULES MADE OF?
The Sjöstrand Coffee capsules are made of starch and plant-based materials such as sugar canes.
HOW CAN YOUR CAPSULES BE DISPOSED?
Our capsules are made for industry compost, meaning that they cannot be thrown in the bag for food waste in most Swedish cities. In many places the capsules can be thrown into the organic waste bin. To be completely sure, check what applies where you live.
ARE YOUR CAPSULES BIODEGRADABLE?
Yes, however it requires certain conditions for the degradation which is why the capsules are not made for home composting. An industrial composting facility can easily decompose the capsules in 12 weeks. Here you can read more about our capsules.
