Our Aluminum Capsules Are Recyclable Through the Nespresso Recycling Program
Our innovative recycling program was developed in close collaboration with Purolator to provide an easy and 100% free process across Canada.
✓ Aluminum is one of the best material to protect the freshness and aromas of your coffee.
✓Nespresso capsules are recyclable and recycled in Canada when returned through the Nespresso Recycling Program.
✓ Recycled Nespresso capsules are repurposed: the aluminum is given a second life and transformed into various objects, while the coffee grounds are composted or used in anaerobic digestion (biomethanization) to produce renewable energy.
