Is Nespresso capsule eco-friendly?

Yes, of course! Nespresso Taiwan has set up convenient return options to make it easy for our Club Members to return their used capsules to us for recycling. Our recycling partners then help us give a second life to both the aluminum capsule as well as the coffee grounds.


- Aluminum is not just recyclable, it can be reproduced in many other forms. Each capsule you recycle can come back in another everyday object – another capsule, bicycle, Swiss army knife, peeler, ladder, window frame or watch case.
- Once separated from the aluminum, coffee grounds can be reused in more and more innovative ways. Today, you can find them in compost fertilizer to enrich the soil of rice fields or even vineyards. They’re also being transformed into renewable energy, like biofuel for buses.
