  • GB 2567418 a biodegradable and compostable coffee capsule made of fiber is known, which is provided on the inside and / or the outside with a biodegradable plastic layer.
  • the Coating can be thicker, particularly in the area of a flange/ring at the top of the capsule where it can cause mechanical reinforcement.
  • a biodegradable portion pack (e.g. a coffee capsule) is also known from EP 2 218 653 A1, which is formed, for example, from a gas-impermeable material.
  • the sachet can be fully or partially surface treated and/or coated. It can also have a local reinforcement made of a fiber layer.
  • a closure membrane is provided for closing the portion pack, which membrane is connected to the portion pack in an airtight manner, in particular by means of diligent sealing.
  • the containers known from the prior art are either not made up exclusively of biodegradable components, or they have comparatively low mechanical stability.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a container that is made exclusively from biodegradable components, that is highly gas-tight and highly mechanically stable, and whose opening position is particularly flexible and inexpensive.
  • the container comprises a fibrous container having at least one opening and a bottom and a cover for the opening, the container having a biodegradable coating.
  • the pulp container is made from an aqueous pulp containing cellulosic fibers.
  • the cellulose fibers are brought into a shape by a simple scooping process using a suction mold.
  • the water is sucked off through pores in the suction mold and the cellulose fibers deposit on the porous surface of the suction mold.
  • the shaped body formed by the suction mold is transferred to a transfer mold so that it is shaped from both sides. Additional thermal processing methods and pressing methods can be used, which increase the surface quality of the shaped body.
  • the shaped bodies made of fibrous material are solid and dimensionally stable.
  • the pulp container thus produced has an opening, a bottom opposite the opening, and a peripheral wall surrounding the opening and the bottom.
  • the opening and the bottom can be round, oval or polygonal.
  • a cover is attached or attachable to the opening of the container, by means of which the opening of the container is closed or can be closed.
  • the cover interacts with the container in such a way that the interior of the container is closed or can be closed with respect to the environment.
  • the cover is also biodegradable.
  • Pulp without a coating has some gas and water permeability.
  • the fibrous container described herein has a biodegradable coating which increases its gas and water tightness, particularly when the cover cooperates with the container. The strength of the container can also be increased by the coating.
  • the coating of fibrous material is basically known from the prior art. Coatings can be sprayed on, for example. Alternatively or additionally, a coating can be carried out by immersing a fibrous material in a coating bath and then drying it.
  • the applicant's publication WO 2020/216719 A1 discloses a biodegradable barrier layer for a cellulose substrate which is well suited for coating the fibrous material containers described here.
  • the container has a biodegradable, hardened impregnation that at least locally reinforces the structure of the container.
  • a biodegradable agent which interacts with the fibrous material of the container in such a way that it at least locally strengthens the container structurally and gives it greater strength when it has hardened.
  • the impregnation can be resistant to moisture.
  • impregnation refers to the impregnation of a porous material with an agent.
  • the selected agent thus penetrates into the pores and increases the strength of the porous material through hardening.
  • the impregnation chosen can be a moisture repellant, also referred to as a hydrophobic agent.
  • a moisture repellant also referred to as a hydrophobic agent.
  • Fibrous bodies made of fibrous material such as the fibrous material container described here, regularly contain pores into which moisture, water or other liquids can penetrate.
  • Such porous fibrous material containers which are usually made of cellulose-containing fibrous material, usually have limited strength, especially if they are soaked.
  • the pores can be sealed with the hardening impregnation, at least in selected areas.
  • the impregnation can penetrate, for example, into the pores of the fibrous material container and fill them out. Since the impregnation itself, as mentioned above, preferably does not absorb any moisture, the impregnated fibrous material not only becomes firmer but also absorbs little or no moisture with the filled pores.
  • the impregnation described here can have at least two aggregate states. It is liquid during application and has hardened in the intended condition as an impregnation.
  • it can be thermoplastic for this purpose.
  • the impregnation is flowable in a heated state and solidifies when cooled. Such a change in the state of aggregation is reversible in ther moplastic materials.
  • the impregnation is flowable only during the impregnation and hardens irreversibly in the intended state as an impregnation in the type of duromers or elastomers.
  • the impregnation In the hardened state, the impregnation has a higher strength than the fibrous material from which the container is formed.
  • the strength of the impregnation can also be higher than the strength of the sealing coating of the fibrous material.
  • the container After impregnation, the container can thus absorb higher mechanical stresses than the container with a coating without impregnation. Since the impregnation is biolo cally degradable, the entire container consists exclusively of biodegradable materials. Biodegradable means that the materials can be decomposed under certain anaerobic or aerobic conditions.
  • the impregnation can be compostable.
  • Compostable means that the impregnation is made of organic material, which is broken down by soil organisms under the influence of atmospheric oxygen, i.e. under aerobic conditions.
  • the container and in particular the impregnation can be compostable without industrially defined conditions. This means that composting is also possible without an industrial composting plant. Even if the container is not disposed of with the sorted compost waste but is released into the environment, it can decompose within a few months.
  • the vast majority of compostable, mechanically reinforced containers can usually only be composted under industrially defined conditions or over long periods of several years. The ecological footprint of the container described here is therefore significantly reduced compared to containers made of many other materials with similar mechanical stability.
  • the impregnation can be applied in the area of the opening and/or in the area of the bottom. These areas are often exposed to particularly high mechanical stresses, so mechanical reinforcement of the container material in these areas is particularly useful.
  • the impregnation can be applied to a surface (the inside) of the container facing towards the interior of the container. Additionally or alternatively, the impregnation can be applied to the outwardly facing surface (the outside) of the container or completely saturate the container wall. As mentioned above, it may be sufficient to apply the impregnation only locally.
  • the impregnation can form a primer for the coating of the container age. If the impregnation is only applied to one side of the container (i.e. either on the inside or on the outside), the coating can alternatively or additionally be applied to that side of the container. ters be applied to which the impregnation is not applied.
  • the coating can be partly applied on the impregnation and partly directly on the fibrous material.
  • the coating may contain at least one of the following components:
  • the coating increases the gas-tightness of the container and can also increase its strength.
  • cellulose nanofibrils or microfibrils can be dissolved in water and can be sprayed onto the container.
  • Nanocellulose has cellulose microfibrils with a median diameter in a range of 30 to 100 nm and/or cellulose nanofibrils with a median diameter in a range of 5 to 20 nm.
  • Industrially sold cellulose fibrils are often a mixture of microfibrils and nanofibrils. In practice, a mixture of 2% by weight of nanocellulose in 98% by weight of water has proven itself for the primer. Choosing a higher cellulose content can reduce or avoid deformation of the container due to moisture and the drying time of the primer can be shortened. In practice, a cellulose content of the priming solution of 2 to 10% by weight is suitable.
  • casein powder can be mixed with water and denatured with calcium hydroxide.
  • the casein increases the tightness and the mechanical nical strength of the container.
  • Casein denatured with calcium hydroxide also becomes water repellent to some extent. It is also possible to denature the casein with baking soda, but it does not make it water-repellent.
  • casein powder was swollen with 100 ml of water for about 8 to 10 hours, 30 g of calcium hydroxide was added and stirred. After another addition of 50 ml of water, the solution was sieved and used for coating.
  • This coating can be applied after coating with cellulosic fibers or as an alternative to coating with cellulosic fibers.
  • the coating can also contain both cellulosic fibers and casein.
  • Whey is also suitable as a component of the coating.
  • Whey can be denatured by heat (90°-100°C).
  • Whey as a component of the coating also increases the strength of the coated container.
  • the whey coating itself is not water-repellent, but can be made waterproof with a second coating.
  • gel-forming components such as agar agar (gelatine from algae) or psyllium husks (seed husks of the plantain species Plantago indica, Plantago afra) are suitable for addition to the coating.
  • agar agar powder is mixed with water and denatured for 1 minute at 100°C. As it cools, it hardens and gels. The gel can be applied to the container and forms a thin layer that seals the unclosed pores of the fiber, increasing strength and repelling water.
  • a similar effect is achieved if ground psyllium husks are soaked in water and applied to the container after they have swelled for around 20 minutes.
  • the components of the coating can be dissolved in water and applied as a mixture at the same time.
  • the impregnation can be formed from carnauba wax.
  • Carnauba wax is a very hard, tropical wax with a high melting point (approx. 85-89°C). It has hardly any smell or taste of its own and is waterproof. It is very brittle when dry and hardens within seconds. Due to its hardness, it is also very stable against abrasion. It is approved for food packaging and has long been used as a coating to increase the shelf life of e.g. B. mangoes, sweets, etc. used.
  • the impregnation can contain beeswax or other natural waxes.
  • Combinations of biologically degradable and, if possible, also compostable waxes can be used for the impregnation, which impart the desired strength to the molded fiber and are particularly suitable for use with the packaged food.
  • shellac and sugar cane wax for example, are also suitable for use in the agent with which the molded fiber body of the container is impregnated.
  • Beeswax is a wax produced in Europe, among other places, that is less hard than carnauba wax. In a mixture with carnauba wax, beeswax helps reduce brittleness. It also has hardly any smell or taste of its own and is approved for use in connection with food. Its melting point is around 65°C.

  • This design of the container is particularly well suited, for example, as a portion pack for powdered beverages, in particular as a coffee capsule.
  • Such ampli effect is particularly advantageous for coffee capsules with a container made of fibrous material, since a gripping mechanism of coffee machines for coffee capsules engages the flange to move the coffee capsule from a first position to a second position.
  • the impregnation of the flange gives the fiber coffee capsules the necessary strength and resistance to moisture.
  • a coffee portion pack in the form of a capsule consisting of the container described here has a high degree of tightness, which is much higher than with conventional coffee pods made of uncoated cellulose fibers, and better environmental compatibility than conventional coffee capsules made of aluminum. As a result, you can keep the coffee for a long time without producing a lot of waste.

If the coating of the cover is identical to the coating of the container and/or these two coatings can be dissolved by the same solvent, the container and the cover can be connected to one another particularly simply and securely by means of a material connection. For example, the coated and not yet completely dried cover can be placed against the opening of the container in such a way that the opening is completely covered.
