Are Nespresso capsules made from recycled aluminum?

In 2015, we piloted a program using recycled Nespresso capsules to make new Nespresso capsules. However, to create a more practical and scalable solution, we have redesigned our capsules to use less material and accept a wider range of aluminum alloys – leading to the 2020 roll-out of the first ever coffee capsules made using 80% recycled aluminum.

We’re even making new capsules using recycled aluminum. Our Original capsules are made using 80% recycled content, and in 2023 94% of the Vertuo ranges of capsules were made using 85% recycled aluminum.
