Abstract
A cartridge () for preparing a liquid product, for example a beverage such as coffee by introducing liquid and/or steam into the cartridge () contains a dose () of at least one substance, such as for example powdered coffee, which is able to form the aforesaid product using said liquid and/or steam. The dose is enclosed between foils () that can be traversed by the aforesaid liquid and/or steam, said foils () being connected together around the dose (). The aforesaid foils () are made of compostable material, i.e., a material that can be recovered by composting and biodegradation, and are connected together around the dose () using a connecting material (), which is also compostable. The cartridge as a whole can hence be recovered by composting and biodegradation, in compliance with the European Norm UNI EN 13432:2002 and/or subsequent modifications and integrations thereof.
