As consumer demand for sustainable products continues to grow, coffee brands are under pressure to reduce their environmental footprint. One of the most effective changes you can make is to switch to eco-friendly coffee bags made entirely from recycled materials. Tonchant, a Shanghai-based leader in custom coffee packaging, now offers a range of coffee bags made from 100% post-consumer recycled film and paper that combine freshness, performance and true sustainability.

Building a circular economy with recycled packaging
Traditional coffee bags are made from virgin plastic and laminate film that end up in landfills. Tonchant’s recycled coffee bags use materials recovered from existing waste streams, such as recycled polyethylene, paper and aluminum laminate film, thus preserving these resources instead of throwing them away. By sourcing and repurposing post-consumer packaging waste, Tonchant helps coffee brands contribute to the circular economy and demonstrate true environmental leadership.

Performance you can trust
Switching to recycled materials doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. Tonchant’s R&D team has perfected recycled barrier films that match or exceed the freshness of traditional bags. Each recycled film coffee bag features:

High Barrier Protection: Multi-layer recycled film blocks oxygen, moisture and UV rays to preserve aroma and flavor.

- One-way degassing valve: Certified valve allows CO2 to escape without letting oxygen in, ensuring optimal freshness.

Resealable Closure: Tear-off and zip-lock options maintain an airtight seal during weeks of storage.

Customization and low minimum order quantities
Whether you’re an artisan roaster or a large coffee chain, Tonchant’s recycled coffee bags are fully customizable—logos, seasonal graphics, flavor labels, and QR codes are all clearly visible on the recycled material. Digital printing allows for orders as low as 500 bags, while flexographic printing supports orders of 10,000+ and the lowest unit price. Tonchant’s rapid prototyping service delivers samples in as little as 7-10 days, allowing you to quickly test and refine your designs.

Transparent sustainability labelling
Consumers want proof that packaging is truly made from recycled materials. Tonchant’s recycled coffee bags feature a clear eco-label and a prominent “100% recycled” logo. You can include certification information directly on the bag, such as FSC recycled paper, PCR (post-consumer resin) code, and recycled content percentage. Transparent labeling builds trust and inspires sustainable coffee lovers to purchase.

Incorporate recycled bags into your brand story
Adding 100% recycled coffee bags to your product line sends a powerful message that your brand values ​​quality and the planet. Pair recycled coffee bags with a compelling origin story, tasting notes, and brewing tips to create a cohesive and sustainable brand experience. Tonchant’s design team can help you incorporate your environmental mission into every element—from the natural kraft outer layer to the matte finish that uses less ink.
