Aluminum is the best material to protect the freshness, taste and quality of the Nespresso coffees, maintaining the high-quality standard of the coffee from roasting to cup. It has a unique advantage of being infinitely recyclable and thanks to the robustness of aluminum, there is no need for additional packaging to protect the freshness and taste. Recycled aluminum is extremely versatile. An estimated 75% of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today, according to the European Aluminum Association.
The size and weight of small, light aluminum items makes it very difficult to be sorted and disposed of in the correct way via normal household recycling. This is why we have invested in a range of recycling services and a dedicated processing facility.
