A cartridge (10) containing a dose (12) of at least one substance such as ground coffee that can be used in the preparation of a liquid product, for example, using liquid and/or steam introduced into the cartridge (10), comprises a side wall (140), a bottom wall (142), through which said liquid product is able to flow from the cartridge (10), and a wall (16) for closing the cartridge (10) at the end opposite to said bottom wall (142). The side wall (140), the bottom wall (142), and the closing wall (16) comprise a material compostable after use of the cartridge. Either the bottom wall (142) or the closing wall (16) or both disintegrates/disintegrate during composting more rapidly than said side wall (140). In addition or as an alternative, either the bottom wall (142) or the closing wall (16) or both of them is/are connected to the side wall (140) by a bond resolvable during composting. In this way, during composting, the spent dose (12) is no longer withheld within the cartridge (10), thus accelerating disintegration and hence composting of the side wall (140). |
