Roasters like low-density polyethylene (LDPE) because of its strong barrier qualities and low cost. LDPE is easily recycled and reused, and it is lightweight, flexible, and durable (#4).

The simplicity and cost of recycling and reusing LDPE distinguishes it from conventional plastics. Because LDPE coffee bags are produced with fewer energy and raw materials, it is simpler for coffee drinkers to dispose of their coffee properly.

For roasters that want to transition to more environmentally friendly methods without having to completely change their business plans, LDPE provides a nice middle ground. It has traits with conventional polymers, such as having an extended shelf life.

If industrial compostability, in particular, is not a possibility, LDPE offers a sustainable substitute that might keep coffee bags out of the trash.

Coffee roasters that specialize in specialty coffee acknowledge that using LDPE packaging is an effective means of preserving the coffee’s quality. It also shows a real shift in direction toward more environmentally friendly methods.
