Meet Halō Coffee

Philosophy -

Faced with the fact that the coffee capsule industry produces around 60 billion capsules a year, Halo wanted to create an ethical alternative. “Halo capsules are designed to provide consumers with a sustainable capsule alternative filled with specialty grade coffees of the highest quality.” Halo exists because the founders did not want people compromising, on sustainability or taste.  They wanted to go a step further than just being ‘recyclable,’ as they felt it wasn’t fixing the problem of excess waste. Halo’s most recent launch is incredibly exciting, especially for those who only use whole beans for their daily cup. The brand has come out with specialty grade beans that like their pods, are packaged only in compostable materials.

Sustainability –

Coffee is one the best materials to compost, as our plants just love it. Halo developed their capsules and beans to be packaged in 100% compostable materials. Unlike lots of recyclable products, Halo’s products do not require any specialized machinery in waste management facilities, and they don’t ever need to go anaerobic digestor, to be broken down. The sugarcane fibre capsules simply require no energy to decompose, they do that naturally. They can actually degrade in as little as 28 days in a home compost and then they break down into a lovely natural fertilizer. Halo also goes a step further, by making all of their packaging compostable too. “Our capsules and packaging break down into organic components that re-enter ecological processes, supporting a circular economy.” Halo’s beans are packaged in bio-polymer laminate with vegetable inks, so the packaging can be composted and even add nutrients to the soil, if you add your compost back to your garden!
