Bewley’s launches 100% compostable coffee capsule range

Bewley’s has become the first Irish company to launch a range of 100% compostable coffee capsules. The coffee market in general is growing at 1.6% year-on-year, while capsule sales are growing at almost 15% year-on-year. As convenient as these capsules are, they come with a cost to the environment due to their un-recyclable packaging. Made from renewable raw materials, Bewley’s new capsules break down into CO2, water and compost. As well as reducing the amount of packaging from the previous Bewley’s capsule range, there is less energy used and fewer greenhouse gases emitted during production of the new capsules.

The event explored all the issues facing the radio  sector, its current position and viability in a digital world. The survey results highlighted that media buyers, whose role is to negotiate, purchase and monitor advertising space and airtime for their clients, listen to nearly two and a half hours of Irish radio on average each day.
