We keep considering that currently aluminium is the best available material to store our product, not only because it protects our coffee’s freshness, taste and quality, but also because it is infinitely recyclable. Also, recycled aluminium is used in a large number of consumer products, including cutlery, window frames, bicycles and automotive components.
We keep looking for new ways to further reduce our products’ impact and, as you can see by these initiatives, increasing our recycling rates is a clear priority.
Finally, Nespresso supports a responsible approach to aluminium use. The amount of aluminium used in Nespresso capsules is very small compared to overall consumption (1 gram per capsule, as opposed to 13-14 grams in a can of soda, for example). And despite being a small participant in the industry, Nespresso has a pioneering role in promoting more sustainable sourcing of aluminium.
