Solinatra is a combination of ‘Soli’ which is Latin for ‘Only’ and also an anagram of soil and ‘Natra’ which is a contraction of Nature. Solinatra thus stands for only natural. The origin of the product is agricultural waste, and after use the Solinatra decays back into soil to grow new agricultural crops: a truly circular product!

Solinatra is made of natural ingredients, derived from plants, utilising agricultural or food manufacturing waste to recycle into bio-polymer gaining an extra life from the organic matter.

Repurposing plant waste from harvested crops, we give new life to existing resources. The plant material is processed and dried, and milled to a fine powder. Patented processes compound the plant powder with natural additives, to create a pellet that can be moulded into shape.

Solinatra is both biodegradable and compostable.

Only natural products are used to make Solinatra: only natural products are left behind to decompose naturally.

Solinatra is both home and industrially compostable.

Products made of Solinatra can be disposed of in garden compost bins at home or in food waste collections for industrial composting.

Solinatra can be used to make or to package a huge range of single use items, such as food packaging, cup lids, disposable cutlery and on-the-go packaging.

We are creating blends of Solinatra to suit all manner of products that would otherwise be polluting and hard to recycle. Focusing on products that are known to be frequently sent to landfill or littered, we are offering a solution to a widespread issue.

The capsules have a 12 month shelf life, after this time the coffee will start to lose its flavour. Store in an air tight container to retain the best aroma!

Used coffee capsules will compost in the same time frame as a banana skin, leaving nothing behind but biomass. The temperature and conditions of your compost bin affect the length of time taken, but it is only a matter of weeks. The capsules contain only natural ingredients and break down without leaving behind any toxic residues or harmful microplastics.

Heat and moisture kickstarts the decomposition process, which means capsules won’t begin to degrade until they’ve been used in a coffee machine.

Unused capsules have a shelf life of 12 months, store in a cool, dry place and in an airtight container to preserve the coffee aroma.

Solinatra coffee pods are 100% plant based and turn white within a minute of your coffee pouring. This is simply an effect of the hot water on the natural material, it roughens the surface of the material which aids the process of biodegrading.

If you have a compost bin at home, your used coffee capsules can go straight into the bin and will provide nutrients to your garden. There’s no need to separate the pod or the lid, the whole capsule can go straight into your compost heap.

If you have a food waste collection, the coffee capsule can go in with your food waste and will be industrially composted by your local council.

If you have neither a food waste bin nor a compost heap, your coffee capsule can go in with general waste.

However you dispose of your used capsules, they will degrade with zero contamination.

Yes! Your used coffee capsules can go straight into the bin and will provide nutrients to your garden. There’s no need to separate the pod or the lid, the whole capsule can go straight into your compost heap.

All types of coffee capsules are made, or can be made, of Solinatra.
