Aluminium
Aluminium Capsule
Coffee is protected from the outside, while aromas are preserved inside
Aluminum is the most protective material available today. It guarantees the freshness of the carefully crafted aromas and rich flavors of our coffees.
Lightweight but strong, aluminum seals it from external elements which could harm it - oxygen, moisture and light.

Inspiring sustainable consumption
At Nespresso, we seek ways to make a difference anywhere we can. This is why we are committed to doing business responsibly. It means ensuring the sustainability of your coffee through a comprehensive program, with observable results.
Because sustainability justifies the means.
By adding the capsule recycling to your coffee ritual, your Nespresso coffee won’t just taste good. It feels good too.

The last drop doesn’t mean the last use for aluminium
Aluminum is not just 100% recyclable, it’s infinitely recyclable. Each capsule you recycle can come back in another everyday object – another capsule, bicycle, Swiss army knife, chair, pen, window frame or watch case.

The last drop doesn’t mean the last use for coffee grounds
Once separated from the aluminum, coffee grounds can be reused in more and more innovative ways. Today, you can find them in compost fertilizer. They’re also being transformed into renewable energy, like biofuel for buses.
