This breakthrough innovation ensures long-term freshness and flavour while eliminating the environmental drawbacks of traditional capsules

OxBarrier announced the official launch of its first technology licensing program, built on more than a decade of innovation in sustainable food and beverage (F&B) packaging. At the heart of OxBarrier’s offering is its patented compostable single-serve capsule technology, which features an integrated oxygen barrier, designed to meet the unique demands of the single-serve coffee capsule industry. This breakthrough innovation ensures long-term freshness and flavour while eliminating the environmental drawbacks of traditional capsules.

The company’s technology is protected by a large portfolio of intellectual property rights. The validity of multiple European patents was recently confirmed by both the Opposition Division and the Technical Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office in multiple contentious proceedings. OxBarrier’s single-serve capsule technology patents have been granted in more than 30 countries, including all major European markets, Canada and Australia — providing a strong foundation for international partnerships and licensing.

Through its licensing program, OxBarrier is making its technologies available to partners worldwide.  This enables coffee brands and manufacturers to accelerate their sustainability commitments while meeting consumer demand for high-performance, compostable single-serve solutions.

“Single-serve capsules are a symbol of modern convenience, but they’ve also created a global waste challenge,” says Boele Oltmans, OxBarrier’s managing director. “OxBarrier’s technology allows brands to offer compostable capsules without sacrificing quality or shelf life. Our goal is to help the industry transition to sustainable single-serve packaging at scale, hence our drive to ‘Preserve with Purpose’.”
