No. The capsule does not consist solely of paper and therefore cannot go with the waste paper.
At this moment, according to laws and regulations* in the Netherlands, no coffee capsules are allowed in the garbage. We therefore recommend processing the home compostable capsules at home on your compost pile. If you do not have access to your own compost pile, we recommend choosing the aluminum Nespresso capsules, which are recyclable.
The bags the capsules are packaged in can go in the PMD container and are then recycled. For municipalities without a PMD route, this can go in the residual waste and the plastic will be recycled by the waste processor through post-separation.
