Coffee giant Nespresso concedes 71 per cent of its pods are not being recycled, despite a global push to make it more convenient to save aluminium and turn coffee grounds into mulch.Pod coffee machine giant Nespresso says 29 per-cent of their used coffee pods are recycled globally
A Planet Ark representative says customers often prefer the easier option of a landfill bin when disposing of coffee pods Here, the pods are unpacked, the coffee grounds are separated and the aluminium pods are shredded and cubed to be sent away to an aluminium smelter.The majority of its pods are not finding their way to Nowra.
"We are not releasing the total volume we recycle as it's commercially sensitive information, but globally we're recycling close to 30 per cent, sitting at 29 per cent," Nespresso technical and quality manager Marta Fernandez said.
Why don’t they start making pods that are more environmental friendly then?
mmm...….
We have two rubbish bins in the dining area at work; one for general rubbish, the other for recyclable waste. Contents of both bins are then emptied into the same dumpmaster twice a week. 🤣
The recycling program is very easy to participate in. If we couldn’t, we wouldn’t be using Nespresso. There is no reason not to participate only the excuse of laziness.
If people can’t be bothered recycling their pods then they’re just scum.
Maybe they could stop making throw away crap that poisons out air and oceans?
I have always conscientiously objected to these. They had a machine in my workplace when I worked for a govt organisation, and I was criticised (by wankers) for providing my own jar of instant coffee. It thought it was an extravagant over-indulgence. I know, 'Okay, Boomer'
You can get compostable/biodegradable ones. Why bother with recycling?
