About ATOP Coffee Products

We care deeply about using eco-friendly packaging. We use 100% compostable & biodegradable bags and PURE Labels for our 100% compostable/recyclable labels, made by Elevate Packaging. We love our planet and know that each sustainable packaging choice we make matters!

Will we save the planet single-handedly? Probably not but we will do our best to spread the word about eco-sustainability beacause our children and the future of our planet deserve it!

Compostable materials break down completely into their basic parts (water, carbon dioxide, and biomass). They will break down in a timely manner and will not release harmful residue.

Products labeled as compostable must be tested to meet US industrial composting standards ASTM D6400 and ASTM D6868. These standards require that compostable products biodegrade within 90 days and leave no harmful residue. Testing includes a seed germination trial, which ensures the compost produced is not harmful to plant life. 

Compostable products add value to the planet's ecosystem by decomposing into nutrient-rich compost. Packaging that is labeled as compostable should be disposed of in a compost bin. 

If something is biodegradable it can be broken down by naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Every material will biodegrade, given enough time (even centuries!). 

Unlike compostable, the term biodegradable is not regulated. There is no time limit for biodegradation, and no testing is done to ensure that the product is free from dangerous toxins. Ideally biodegradable material will break down quickly and safely, however not every product advertised as biodegradable meets these criteria. 

A product labeled as biodegradable without any further context is vague and misleading to consumers. Because this term is so vague, biodegradable products may contaminate compost and should be disposed of in trash collection destined for landfill.

Compostable pouches are a great alternative to petroleum-based plastics. A reclosable zipper ensures that your product stays fresh, while a compostable one-way degassing valve allows release of carbon dioxide. The most sustainable coffee packaging the planet has to offer!

  • Notch for easy tear open, reclosable zipper
  • Compostable one-way degassing valve
  • Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier
  • Heat sealable. Vacuum Sealable (Chamber Vacuum Seal Method)
  • Freezer safe
  • Made from white paper and compostable laminated film
  • Made in USA

These films meet composting standards for industrial composting environmentsStandards and Certifications: ASTM D6400, EN13432.

*Please compost, where accepted. Safe for Home Composting. Results in home compost systems may vary.

Our compostable pouches are vegan, non-GMO, and are not made with PLA. They do not contain harmful chemicals such as bisphenol (including BPA and over a dozen other derivatives), PFAS, or phthalates.

Please avoid constant or regular contact with liquids, creams, or moisture.

They are suitable for sealing with most standard heat sealers

Yes.  Please use the coffee we sell you in less than 6 months (of course it is always better fresher!).  Or buy a glass jar with rubber ring to store it.  The question you have to ask is, do you really want coffee that was roasted over a year ago anyway (this is one of the reasons our very large-scale competitors don't use these bags now.)
