Protecting Flavor and the Environment
Nespresso says it uses “aluminum for the capsules protecting our coffee to ensure you get the freshest cup of quality coffee every time.” Further, the company notes that aluminum is 100 percent recyclable and offers customers pre-paid shipping bags to return the used capsules to Nespresso for proper recycling. And customers in any New York City borough can deposit their Nespresso capsules directly into their curbside recycling bin.
By choosing aluminum, Nespresso is prioritizing sustainable materials that also keep their product fresh. By developing a system to promote recycling, they are also demonstrating a commitment to returning these valuable materials into the stream to become new products and conserve energy.
If you’re looking to brew a sustainable cup of coffee, look for some packaged in aluminum.
