Nespresso® has partnered with TerraCycle® to provide a new life for used Nespresso capsules. Every time you enjoy Nespresso, save the capsule and recycle it with TerraCycle.
Participating in the Nespresso Aluminum Capsule Recycling Program is completely free and easy for participants located in British Columbia and Quebec.
Once you have been approved to join the program and are ready to send in a shipment, download a shipping label from your TerraCycle account by clicking the green "Ship us your waste" box above and follow the prompts. Your shipping label will be emailed to your inbox. Print out your label and tape it securely onto your box. Ship the box to TerraCycle by calling UPS at 1-800-742-5877, and schedule a pick up for the next business day.
OTHER WAYS TO RECYCLE
For those outside of British Columbia and Quebec, or for those looking for other ways to recycle, you can participate in a new, simple, and free solution: the red bag program.
-
When you purchase your coffee (online or in a boutique), you will receive a free red recycling bag with prepaid postage.
-
Put your used capsules in the Nespresso red recycling bag.
-
Drop the bag at a Canada Post mailbox or post office to be sent off for recycling.
-
When your shipment is received, the coffee grounds and aluminum are separated mechanically in a local recycling facility. The coffee grounds are used to make a rich compost and aluminum is smelted down to create new aluminum products.
There is also an option to recycle your Nespresso capsules in-store at a local boutique. Please see the map in the 'Find a public drop-off point' tab above to find a location near you.
