Winner - Fiber+ is an innovative filter media using exclusively biodegradable and compostable raw materials for the best infusion. The Green Capsule Top Lid is a compostable lidding filter. Its structure allows perfect coffee extraction thanks to a high-pressure resistance, and the oxygen barrier properties help to preserve coffee freshness in the capsule. The Compostable K-cup filter is a unique compostable, formable filter, compatible with the K-cup system and capable of holding high quantities of coffee for the best result in cup.

Nominee - Every year, more than 100 million square meters of event carpet is used. Traditional carpet contains considerable amounts of latex which means it cannot be recycled sustainably. Rewind, however, is a 100% polypropylene product. The complete absence of latex allows for Rewind to be converted into a pure high-value mono recyclate, offering a greatly expanded range of future applications.

Nominee - RKW HyJet® is hydroentangled spunbond nonwovens used in many industrial applications. As a new application, RKW has launched RKW HyJet® targeting the agricultural sector by providing a durable crop cover for reliable yields. With its “loop” structure and endless filaments, RKW HyJet® provides a unique tear resistance, a superior strength, and optimizes air- and light transmission.
