There has been concerns about the amount of coffee pods ending up in landfill, and the use of plastics in pods. Plastic and aluminium pods can take hundreds of years to break down.
You can offset this by choosing coffee pods that are home-compostable, biodegradable and plastic-free, or that can be placed in your food waste bin.
Howey Gill says: 'We should all think about the environmental impacts of everything, and pods are no exception. Pods are single-use, so in my opinion you just have to make sure they're compostable.'
