Our Commitment to Recycling & Circularity
Every capsule is made from infinitely recyclable aluminum which can and should be recycled. We’re committed to making that happen and your participation is key.
Our Aluminum Capsules Are Recyclable and Truly Recycled
Our innovative recycling program was developed in close collaboration with renowned Canadian private and public sectors. Depending on where you live, there are different dedicated recycling solutions in place to collect your Nespresso coffee capsules.
