The coffee grounds are then used to create compost while the empty capsules have the plastic melted off leaving pure aluminum which is melted and recycled.
Once Nespresso receives the used pods, it uses a recycling facility to separate the aluminum and any remaining coffee grounds in the pods. We think this should happen sooner rather than later, as the easier it is to recycle coffee pods, the less likely they are to end up in landfill. However Podback plans to roll out the collection scheme to other areas of the UK in the future. If you don’t live in one of these areas, Podback bags can currently be dropped off at stores offering Collect+. The pods should be placed in the dedicated Podback bag and left out for collection at the same time as other recycling and refuse. In the UK, Cheltenham Borough Council and South Derbyshire District Council areas state Nespresso pods are among the brands of used coffee pods that are being collected and recycled through a scheme called Podback, that Nespresso co-founded. In some areas, Nespresso also offers curbside collection - for example in New York you can put your used Nespresso capsules into your usual metal, glass and plastic recycling bin - without having to place them in a Nespresso recycling bag first. In the US, this includes stores such as Sur la Table and Williams Sonoma, while in the UK these include local stores that offer the CollectPlus service. There are currently 122,287 collection points worldwide. If you’re placing a coffee order through the Nespresso website, you can request a doorstep collection at the same time.Īlternatively, you can drop off the recycling bag at any Nespresso Boutique store or a dedicated Nespresso collection point. When the recycling bag is full, there are a number of ways you can get the used pods back to Nespresso. You can either add a recycling bag, which holds around 150 Original capsules or 65 Vertuo pods, to any online order through Nespresso’s website, or you can pick one up from any Nespresso Boutique store. Nespresso offers its own dedicated pod recycling scheme around the world, and all you need is a free-of-charge Nespresso pod recycling bag.
