How does Nespresso recycle the capsules?

Nespresso has established a robust recycling network to collect used coffee capsules in Singapore since 2012. The used capsules are sent to their local partner, A1 Environment, where the aluminum is separated from the used coffee grounds. After which, they are given a second life. Used coffee grounds are donated to local partners (Target15, local community gardens and farms) where they are used to create compost for gardens, growing vegetables and tree planting. Aluminum is infinitely recyclable and can be reused to create new aluminum products and second life items, like chopsticks, and even bicycle frames like the Velosophy bike.
