SUSTAINABILITY
Ideal For The Daily Grind & Our Planet
Silgan is open to partnering with our customers to create a more sustainable pod and a recycling program to help collect and reuse used pods.
- X-CUP™ can be responsibly made from up to 25% PCR material.
- After use, X-CUP™ coffee pods can be recycled via an efficient bag return program.
If you’ve been holding out for a fully recyclable single-use pod, your answer has finally arrived.
HOW IT WORKS
Superior Pod Technology
- Patent-pending energy director reduces cup failure during production process, improving your manufacturing efficiency
- Uniform wall thickness with multi-layer barrier protection keeps out oxygen, sealing in product freshness.
- Injected layer of post-consumer recycled content creates a stronger barrier without virgin plastics.
- Precise dimensional control creates consistent capsule performance, minimizing failure.
- Polypropylene #5 outer layer for superior barrier protection and 100% recyclability.
REDUCED OTR
The X-CUP Freshness Difference
Other pod designs lack a consistent thickness whereas X-CUP’s uniformly constructed walls significantly minimize the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) outer filter-welding.
As a result, your grounds stay fresher much longer. Simply put, X-CUP™ uses common sense to preserve your grounds without any unnecessary additives. Cut waste while extending the shelf life of even your most delicate roasts.
