Adaptability is the sweet spot for succeeding in today’s changing confectionery industry. The convergence of several consumer trends, such as single-serve portions and on-the-go packaging, is driving the demand for more flexible form/fill/seal (FFS) technology.
Green Day guitarist/frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt, who own Oakland Coffee Works, help introduce coffee pods and bags made from compostable materials.
It’s estimated that 18,000 single-serve coffee pods are discarded every minute. In fact, lined up, the pods that are thrown away each year could circle the Earth more than 10 times.
