REDUCE. REUSE. REGENERATE.

A RESILIENT APPROACH THAT IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS, PEOPLE AND PLANET

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

Since launching our first recycling scheme in 1991, we’ve embarked on a journey towards a more circular model, designed to use less and keep materials in use for longer . This ambition continues to grow. From precision consumption to refurbished coffee machines.

ALL IN FOR RECYCLING

Over the last 30 years, together, we’ve strived to give the aluminum and used coffee grounds in our capsules a new lease of life. 9 out of 10 customers now have a recycling collection point within 5km. This is just the beginning, as we use more recycled content and extend recycling through industry-wide collective systems.

  • Infinitely recyclable aluminum

  • 100,000+ collection points across the globe

  • Original and Vertuo capsules made using 80%+ recycled aluminum, by end 2022
  • Doing our bit

    To make recycling easier and more convenient, there are more than 5,000 recycling points in Spain. So your coffee grounds will be transformed into compost, and your capsules sill become new aluminum objects.
