VANCOUVER — NEXE Innovations Inc., a compostable and innovative materials company, announced that the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) has completed its verification process and has confirmed that the NEXE fully compostable, single-use beverage pod and its associated components meet the compostable requirements set out by the BPI Institute.

“We believe that the BPI Certification, combined with the study done with the University of British Columbia and an independent commercial compost study that was completed at the Surrey Biofuel Facility, the first closed-loop organic waste facility in North America, will provide the industry with confidence that NEXE’s compostable products are the ideal green solution to the plastic waste plaguing our environment,” said Ash Guglani, President, NEXE Innovations. “NEXE understands that it is one of the only companies that completed an industrial composting study prior to applying for the BPI Certification”.

The NEXE fully compostable, single-use beverage pod has several key competitive features protected by patents, including a technology that allows for more volume per pod while delivering what the company believes is an unrivaled “pour-over” coffee experience.

Replacing single-use plastic and aluminum pods with fully compostable materials has been a daunting challenge, considering the requirements of water resistance, pressure endurance, and heat resilience

“NEXE has gone through a significant transition. We have improved the performance of the single-use pod, which can go head-to-head with the plastic alternative, and have brought our manufacturing capabilities in-house,” said Ash Guglani, President, NEXE Innovations, “NEXE’s goal is to provide a fully compostable, single-use pod option to customers without compromising on performance and price.”
