Firstly, you don’t have to return them anywhere to be recycled, as you do with other brands' aluminium capsules. So you save on time, and of course on the transportation emissions. Secondly, the whole of our capsule is compostable. With the aluminium capsule, some of the elements aren’t recyclable (the coffee and the glue), so there is a costly process of cleaning to enable it to be recycled. Thirdly, our capsules are made from a specially developed plant-based material, which uses significantly less energy and resources to make than an aluminium capsule.
