3. Business case sustainable packaging
The project started with the sustainable vision of packaging in 2000:
“Moving from a linear to a circular economy is our future and that future starts today!”  
Timmo Terpstra – Peeze
What is Peeze’s ambition?
All packaging by Peeze is circulair in 2025.
2000 Introduction of EVOH barrier
2009 Stopped with aluminium and metallized barrier
2009 Start project of biobased/compostable packaging
2015 Introduction of compostable Peeze coffee capsules
2016 introduction biobased coffee packaging
2018 Introduction compostable coffee packaging ( )
Next step:
Peeze wants to realise this for all their flexibele packaging latest in 2025.

5. BIOBASED vs COMPOSTABLE laminates for coffee

6. Bringing together know-how
Research & development
Know-how bio-materials
Certifications
Vision sustainability
Circular economy
Concrete project
Design art-work
Practical realisation:
Art-work, cylinders
Rotogravure printing
Laminating / slitting
Logistics
Machinability
Bringing together know-how

7. out of cellulose and sugarcane residu.
First step: BIOBASED
This material is made for more than 85%
out of cellulose and sugarcane residu.
Both raw materals have less impact on the environment
Than regular, conventional raw materials.

8. Why biobased ? Fossil based raw materials facing depletion.
Increasing resistance towards oil-based packaging (both consumers and companies).
Governmental targets to drastically reduce the use of fossil-based resources in the coming years
Biobased, made out of renewable resources, such as wood and sugarcane residu. Natural resources that can grow back again and be harvested.
Price is becoming more interesting: factor 2 – 2,5 compared to conventional
Saving more than 4 kg CO2 for each kg polythylene that is being replaced by green BIO PE
Easier implementation on existing machinery than compostable
Easier production proces of laminates compared to compostable
Usage of normal inks and adhesives
Normal valve can be used, can however also be biobased valve
First step to a biological cycle, unfortunately not yet compostable

9. Second step: COMPOSTABLE

10. Biobased vs Composteerbaar
Why compostable ?
Biobased vs Composteerbaar
Biobased
Advantage:
·         Maximum biobased certified, star > 80% natural resources
·         Good machinability
·         Normal PE degassing valve can be used
·         Excellent barrièr properties
·         CO2 advantage compared to traditional packaging.
Disadvantage:
· Not compostable.
·         Eventually insiniration, does regain energy
·         No financial tax-benefit packaging waste fund.
·         Difficult to communicate.  
Compostable:
Advantage:
·         Can be thrown in green waste bin, 100% compostable EN
·         First 3-ply laminate for coffee
·         Excellent barrier properties
·         Good machinability
·         Tax advantage of € 0,62 per kilogram compared to traditional packaging
·         Possibility to supply with compostable valve
·         Easier to communicate
·         Seedling logo an example for KIDV and the vereniging afvalverwerkers.
Disadvantage:
·         Less biobased content (2-3 stars: between 40-80% renewable, depending on seallayer thickness).
·         More CO2 compared to Biobased, but less compared to actual packaging.

11. Sustainability wheel comparison

12. Differences within Europe
Germany: focus on biobased, reduction CO2 footprint
France: focus on compostable
Netherlands: focus on circulair – can go both ways…….

13. Time for coffee!
Thank you!
