We deliberately chose aluminium as the packaging for our coffee varieties because this material best protects the ground and roasted coffee beans from light, air and moisture, in order to guarantee you freshness for a whole year.
Aluminium can also be infinitely recycled. In addition, we would like to point out that the coffee is separated from the capsule by a food protection layer, so there is no physical contact.
Thanks to various programmes developed in all cantons with local and national partners, Nespresso has achieved a 100% recycling capacity for aluminium capsules in Switzerland to recover the full material value after use. You can find more information about our recycling programme here.
