A second life for your used Nespresso capsule this Earth Day and every day

Earth Day is an annual event on 22 April to demonstrate support for environmental protection. The day aims to raise awareness of the need to protect Earth's natural resources for future generations. And this Earth Day, and every day, Nespresso is reminding South African coffee lovers to give their used Nespresso capsules a second life and participate in Nespresso's global sustainability efforts. Consumers can do this by partaking in the Nespresso South Africa used capsules recycling programme.

Nespresso use aluminium for their capsules protecting your coffee to ensure you get the freshest cup of quality coffee every time. Nespresso capsules are 100% and infinitely recyclable, meaning your coffee capsules start as and become new aluminium products once recycled. Nespresso introduced, for the first time in the coffee market, capsules made using 80% recycled aluminium in May 2020.

As part of Nespresso's commitment to sustainability and a circular economy, Nespresso recycle its used aluminium coffee capsules, and South African coffee consumers can easily play their role in this effort by following steps one and two in the below used capsule recycling process:

This Earth Day and every day, South African coffee lovers are reminded that when you recycle with Nespresso, the end of the story is just the beginning.
