Recyclable Coffee Bags | Sustainable Coffee Packaging Solutions
We partner with global certifiers to ensure our recyclable coffee bags meet international standards. Our in-house R&D team supports brands in navigating the shift to sustainable packaging without sacrificing performance or product integrity.
♻️ Preserve Freshness. Protect the Planet. Promote Your Brand.
In the coffee industry, preserving aroma, flavor, and freshness is non-negotiable. But traditional coffee packaging—often made from PET and metallized PET—poses a serious environmental problem due to its non-recyclable nature. At Lanker Pack, we’re redefining what coffee packaging can be.
Our recyclable coffee bags are made from high-barrier mono-material polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), offering excellent oxygen and moisture protection without compromising recyclability. Whether you're packaging single-origin beans, espresso blends, or ground coffee, our sustainable pouch solutions help your brand reduce waste while maintaining top-tier product protection.
Why Choose Lanker Pack’s Recyclable Coffee Bags?

🛡️ High-Barrier Protection for Coffee Freshness
Coffee is highly sensitive to oxygen, moisture, UV light, and odors. Our recyclable bags incorporate EVOH barrier layers, providing outstanding barrier against oxygen and moisture for extended shelf life.

Join coffee roasters, retailers, and private labels around the world in making the move toward eco-friendly, high-performance coffee pouches.
How One-Way Valves Keep Coffee Fresh?
Freshly roasted coffee releases CO₂ for days after roasting. Without a valve, trapped gas can cause the pouch to swell, while oxygen infiltration dulls flavor. Our recyclable coffee bags integrate a one-way degassing valve that releases excess CO₂ while preventing oxygen entry—keeping your coffee aromatic and flavorful for longer.
Sustainable, Recyclable Structures
Our recyclable coffee pouches use mono-material PE or PP laminates designed for recycling in LDPE #4 or PP #5 streams. Optional recyclable valves and zippers ensure the entire package is compatible with recycling systems. For brands seeking a compostable route, we also offer certified PLA and paper-based structures—see our paper-based packaging page.
