REDUCE. REUSE. REGENERATE.

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

Come B Corp™

INFINITE POSSIBILITIES

Since launching our first recycling program in 1991, we’ve been on a journey toward a more circular model, designed to waste less and keep materials in use longer. At the heart of our commitment to B Corp™ values, this ambition continues to grow. From precision consumption to remanufactured coffee machines.

EVERYTHING FOR RECYCLING

Over the past 30 years, together, we have been committed to giving a new life to the aluminium and used coffee from our capsules. 9 out of 10 customers now have a recycling collection point within 5 km. This is just the beginning, as we use more and more recycled material and extend recycling through collective systems at an industrial level.

Doing our part

In Italy, our commitment to recycling has materialized in the circular economy project Da Chicco a Chicco, active since 2011. ​Every time you recycle, the aluminum from the capsules can be transformed into new objects and the residual coffee becomes compost for an Italian rice field. The rice grown is purchased by Nespresso and donated to Banco Alimentare in Lombardia, Piemonte, Lazio, Puglia, Emilia Romagna and, starting this year, also to Fondazione Progetto Arca Onlus.​ This year alone, we managed to donate over 100,000 kilos of rice, for more than 1 million dishes.

RETHINK. REUSE. RELOVE

As we continue to grow as a B Corp™, we are more committed than ever to optimizing resources and minimizing waste. Every action has an impact. Every innovative idea can make us more efficient. Together, we can continue to breathe new life into this commitment.
