• How do you remove caffeine?

  Decaffeination is an additional step before roasting and grinding. In general there are various decaffeination processes. Some of them use chemical solvents and others use natural ingredients: water or carbon dioxide, a natural constituent of air. We at Nespresso use only those with natural ingredients:
  
  • In the water decaffeination process, the raw coffee beans are moistened to make the bean texture porous. After that by circulating the moisture through the porous beans, the water removes the caffeine and some other water-soluble solids. The extract is then removed and filtered via active carbon where caffeine is separated from the other valuable coffee solids, which are then returned to the beans. The purified water will be re-used for subsequent decaffeination processes. The decaffeinated coffee is then dried after which the beans are ready for roasting.
  
  • In the carbon dioxide method, the raw coffee beans are moistened and put into a vessel where it is pressurized with liquid carbon dioxide. Circulating through the coffee, the carbon dioxide selectively draws the caffeine out of the bean. The decaffeinated coffee is then dried after which the beans are ready for roasting
  
  Both decaffeination methods use only natural ingredients for decaffeination and are completely safe for coffee drinkers. The processes respect the environment and the coffee bean’s true nature, allowing us to maintain the strength, variety and richness of its aromas for our consumers.

  The volume of capsules collected is transferred to Mega-eco. A specially designed capsule recycling machine separates the coffee from the aluminum, which is then recycled with environmentally friendly technology, for the production of other products. We use aluminum as packaging material for our capsules because it protects the approximately 900 aromas contained in a Nespresso Capsule. Aluminum can be recycled forever without losing its properties whereas coffee is used as agricultural fertilizer. Nespresso covers the cost of this entire trip to and from recycling points and provides the proceeds of the process on a non-profit basis.

• Why are the capsules only 80% recycled aluminium, not 100%?

  There are two reasons: (1) we must use some virgin aluminium to fine-tune the alloy; and (2) the membrane is still made from virgin aluminium. But of course, we’re working towards increasing the percentage of recycled aluminium that we use.

• Why not the full range of coffees is not in recycled aluminum?

  Switching to recycled aluminium represents a big change in our production. It therefore takes some time to switch all our production lines. This is being done as a rolling change, and the new capsules will be introduced across the full Original & Vertuo range in the coming 2 years. Original Line Master Origin Colombia is our first coffee capsule using recycled aluminium and by the end of 2021, we aim to have the full Original Line and Vertuo ranges of coffee capsules made using recycled aluminium.

• What is happening with the recycled capsules? Are they ending up in new capsules?

  Aluminium that is recycled, (including our capsules), is collectively reprocessed and endlessly reformed. Most of the capsules that are recycled are returned into the general aluminium stream, to become new aluminium products, from cans to car or airplane parts. Some of the capsules that are returned to us by consumers in countries close to Germany (France, Be-Ne-Lux and Switzerland) are re-melted and reformed to become new capsules. We focus on countries which are close to Germany as most of the aluminium re-smelters are located there, and it doesn’t make sense environmentally to bring back capsules from countries further away.

• Will changing the aluminium change the taste of the coffee/extraction of my coffee?

  No, the extraction, and thus the taste of your coffee, will not change.

• Why do you use aluminium for your capsules?

  We use aluminium because it optimally protects the freshness, taste and quality of Nespresso coffee. That way, we can ensure that the aromas developed during the roasting process are retained until the coffee reaches your cup. We also use aluminium for the capsules to ensure optimal functionality in Nespresso machines. Aluminium also has the added benefit of being infinitely recyclable.

• What does the claim 80% recycled aluminium really mean?

  It means that 80% of the aluminium we use for the complete capsule (the capsule itself, plus the foil membrane) is recycled aluminium. The membrane has a different functional requirement than the main capsule body, and for now we will continue to use virgin aluminium to ensure it functions effectively. The capsule body alone, excluding the foil membrane, consists of at least 90% recycled aluminium.

• Why do you still use packaging – there must be other solutions to offer good quality coffee, with less environmental impact?

  A precision consumption system like Nespresso uses a precise amount of water, coffee ground and energy to make one cup - minimising food, water and energy waste. With other methods of coffee preparation, consumers tend to use more coffee than required and keep it warm for too long - then throw out left-over coffee, which represents a lot of waste.

  Although it seems counterintuitive, the precise consumption of portioned coffee means that it has a similar environmental impact to filter coffee and mocha, and better than bean-to-cup machines. The footprint of portioned coffee is lower if the capsules are recycled, which is why Nespresso has worked relentlessly since 1991 to increase the volume of used capsules that are recycled.

  However, we are constantly innovating and finding new ways to further reduce our impact on the environment. We currently use aluminium as it optimally protects the freshness, taste and quality of Nespresso coffee. That way, we can ensure that the aromas developed during the roasting are retained until the coffee reaches your cup, without the use of overwrapping/pouches. Aluminium also has the added benefit of being infinitely recyclable, which is why we place so much focus on making our global recycling scheme easy to use.

• Are the machines recyclable?

  Most of the components and materials of our coffee machines are recyclable. The only parts which are not recyclable are the electronic circuit board and some plastic parts with glass fibres (the brewing unit). Consumers can recycle their machines through the “recycling scheme”, where appliances are sorted by material.
