Bad news: Of the 59 billion #coffeecapsules produced globally in 2018, more than 56 billion were made from #plastic and #aluminium.

That’s a lot of coffee capsules going to landfill. Good news: Halo #Coffee capsules are 100% home compostable!

@Amalektgh ... Dietary exposure is one of the only exposure routes that is quite well regulated due to the food contact levels legislation. In addition, health impacts of phthalates that are being used as replacements are not yet well studied and so the risks are not yet known

Phthalates are regulated in food packaging to less than 0.1%, but there are plenty of exposure routes not related to pizza boxes!
