business came to life. The key to
success for this however, was a
partnership with a local; passionate

coffee who shared our long-term
vision about authentic flavors, pure
coffee and food safety. Through
our network, we got to know Linh,

educated and dynamic.

A few years ago, I heard about Kay and his
family through related coffee farmers and
we immediately connected very well. We
started Belvico together and I feel like we’re
the perfect combination: European vision

safety combined with Vietnamese knowledge
about coffee farming, processing and roasting.
Frankly speaking, I never imagined that I would

Biodegradable
Bags
Plastic is harmful for humans, animals and
plants because of its toxic pollutants.
Many organisms in the food chain from
plankton through fish to whales are
negatively affected. Plastic does not
easily break down; we are talking about
hundreds or even thousands of years.
On a positive note, there is a growing
awareness in society to reduce the use of
so called ‘single use plastic’. One might
underestimate the positive impact we can
have as an individual and family by making
smart daily choices about the use of plastic.
We have spent several months looking for
a compromise between product quality –
We are extremely proud to present our
100% biodegradable coffee bag which keeps
your coffee fresh and flavorful, meanwhile
being fully degradable in every environment.
Every single component of these bags -
including the off-gas valve and zipper are
completely biodegradale in any environment:

•
Backyard compost: 6 months
Aerobic landfill: 1-2 years
• Anaerobic landfill: 2-5 years

bag – and respect for the environment. It
has been a discovery journey, in which the
truth did not unveil itself easily. We learnt
that bio-degradable and compostable have
different meanings - that most so called
‘environmentally friendly’ coffee bags
were only partly compostable or partly
bio-degradable; that bio-degradable and
compostable bags will not degrade on
waste landfills and that some of these
bags cannot preserve the coffee flavor.
