ALUMINIUM CAPSULES
Nespresso capsules are made using aluminium which is infinitely recyclable via our capsule recycling program and most of our coffee capsules are made from at least 80% recycled aluminium.

RECYCLING PROGRAM
Nespresso coffee capsules that are recycled via our dedicated recycling program go on to have a second life. The coffee grounds are used in soil mix for landscaping while aluminium is returned to the aluminium industry to make new products.

PRECISION CONSUMPTION DESIGN
Nespresso’s precision consumption system means only the required amount of water, coffee grounds and energy are used to make a cup of coffee, minimising waste.
