Recently, a fully degradable coffee filter paper made from a combination of bamboo fiber and corn starch has performed outstandingly in multiple professional evaluations, marking that the coffee consumables industry is accelerating towards a new stage of green environmental protection. This product was jointly developed by Jiangmen Lina Coffee Products Trading Co., LTD., a leading domestic coffee equipment enterprise, and an international biomaterials laboratory. It has now passed multiple food contact safety certifications in Europe and America.

Compared with traditional wood pulp filter paper or chemically synthesized filter screens, this new type of filter paper not only ensures the uniformity of extraction and the effect of oil filtration, but also achieves natural decomposition within six months after use. Third-party test reports show that its tear resistance is about 20% higher than that of ordinary filter paper, and it does not retain the pulp flavor, fully preserving the original flavor layers of coffee.

From production to disposal, we strive to make every link more environmentally friendly. The R&D director of Jiangmen Lina stated, "The raw materials of this filter paper come from sustainably managed bamboo forests, and water consumption during the production process has been reduced by 35%." In recent years, the company has established a complete eco-friendly product line ranging from coffee POTS to related consumables. Its innovation laboratory is further researching an integrated composting solution for coffee grounds and filter paper.

Industry observers point out that as global coffee consumers' environmental awareness increases, especially with the high expectations of Generation Z for sustainable consumption, the coffee filter market is undergoing structural changes. According to the International Coffee Organization's prediction, the market share of degradable filter paper is expected to increase from the current less than 15% to over 40% in the next five years, driving related enterprises to accelerate technological innovation and industrial chain upgrading.

At present, this series of filter paper has been sold to over 30 countries and regions around the world through both online and offline channels. The first batch of cooperative coffee shops have reported that more than 70% of their customers are willing to pay for the "green premium" brought by the eco-friendly filter paper. Next, the R&D team will focus on enhancing the adaptability of filter paper in high-end precision brewing equipment and exploring more application possibilities of renewable plant fibers.

Industry insiders believe that such innovations not only reflect the coffee industry's response to the carbon neutrality goal, but also reshape the daily coffee-drinking experience of global consumers in the details, indicating that coffee culture is evolving towards a more responsible and ecologically conscious direction.
