Recycling your Nespresso Aluminium
capsules is easy

Through our fully funded recycling program, we are helping to create a more circular economy where the things we create can be recycled and repurposed.

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.​

✓Nespresso capsules are made with aluminum that can be recycle again and again 1.

✓ 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.
