Advancements in Single-Serve Beverage Delivery
How to Keep Innovating the Nonwovens Industry: New Applications for Single-Serve Coffee
Paper represents one of the oldest product we ever made.
Years after years we improved it, optimized it and after centuries we look again at this media wondering how to make it better. To reinvent a solution we have to look at the problem we are trying to solve without the same eyes we had when we created. Single serve coffee systems are one of the most common products used in everyday life and they’re generating some environmental challenges linked to the after use of these capsules.
Reconsider these products design thinking about their end of life is the key for a new prospective in the nonwovens application for the coffee market.

Don’t just take our word for it
I strongly recommend Innovation Takes Root. It's a good opportunity to understand and see what happens in this area of biopolymers. It's an international event and not just on PLA. I think it's well done, well-managed, and well-organized. It was a good investment for me.
Innovation Expert - Polymers, Electrolux
I'd definitely come back (to ITR) and recommend it. I think many different industries could learn something from a conference like this - it really is focused on the next level of sustainability.
Vice President, Titan Robotics
It has been a wonderful event; very well organized. I especially appreciate the scheduling of activities, the alternation of speeches, and time to network, which has been one of the key successes from my point of view. We also felt very supported by your team; we had the feeling you believe in what Flo is doing and, for us, that's very important.
