Product Information

That’s why we decided to challenge the notion that aluminium coffee pods can’t be recycled and with consumers more concerned about the planet than ever before, it felt like a natural place to look. Claire Hughes, Director of Product and Innovation at Sainsbury’s says:“We’re always looking for new ways to help our customers live more sustainably at home, and key to that is making sure any changes are small and easy to implement.

Still, what’s remaining can easily be rinsed off, leaving a clean aluminium case that can be dropped into a recycling bin. Dualit recommends putting the capsules in a colander and then rinsing in washing up water. Sainsbury’s has now become the first retailer to label its own brand aluminium coffee pods as recyclable, available in stores from the 12th September The ideal companion to our Café Grand Cru coffee pods, the EcoPress compresses each capsule, removing your used coffee grounds. So, whether you're a lover of our intense and full-bodied Ristretto, or our sweet and mellow Brazil Espresso, you can recycle your pods at home effortlessly. As with the Dualit EcoPress for the standard capsules, the Dualit EcoPress for Vertuo is a plastic device designed to push a Vertuo Pod inside out, spilling its used coffee grounds into the bin, leaving the aluminium shell for recycling.

Helen Bird, recycling and plastics expert at WRAP, explains that: 'Even if coffee pods are made from a material that can be recycled at home, it's highly unlikely that they would be recycled in practice due to their small size - they simply drop out of the recycling process and are likely to either be landfilled or sent to an energy-from-waste facility.' Introducing the Dualit EcoPress, the perfect solution to recycling coffee pods at home and reducing the number of capsules going to landfill. In the main bin you’ll find the coffee grounds. On inspection, I found a few bits of aluminium from the base of the test capsules had dropped on occasion, but these are easy to fish out, with the coffee grounds emptied into a regular bin, food bin, or compost bin. The Dualit EcoPress will only work with original Nespresso (or compatibles) aluminium pods; it doesn’t accept pods designed to be biodegradable or that are made of plastic. It isn’t compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules or capsules for rival pod systems, either. Performance

The coffee capsule is a case in point. Technically, aluminium pods can be recycled; but only if the coffee grounds are removed first, which can be a pain.

Until now, it’s been widely believed that aluminium coffee pods are too small to be captured for recycling when items are being sorted. Sainsbury’s has challenged the industry and discovered that waste management companies have facilities that would actually be able to capture and recycle these smaller items.To help educate consumers about how to recycle their coffee pods, Sainsbury’s has become the first UK retailer to label its own brand aluminium coffee pods as recyclable. This label will make clear the importance of emptying the pod and rinsing it before placing it in the recycling bin, so that the clean aluminium can be sorted and recycled.
