Nespresso Recycling Program | Tweed City

Did you know that the life cycle of a coffee pod doesn't end when you finish sipping your favourite cup of coffee? The capsules and coffee grounds can be reused in new and innovative ways to create fertiliser, cards, bicycles, computers and more.

Disposing of your coffee pods may seem like a chore but with Nespresso's Recycling Program, you can enjoy delicious coffee made with ease and make a difference to the world we live in,

Aluminium is the best material to protect the freshness, taste and quality of your coffee. The use of aluminium means there is no need for additional over-packaging to protect freshness and taste. And, as a naturally-occurring metal, it is infinitely recyclable, with an estimated 75% of all aluminium ever produced still in use today.

Tweed City is now a public Nespresso Collection Point and you can now drop off your used Nespresso aluminium capsules at our Customer Service Desk, located near Cotton On. 

By giving your Nespresso coffee capsules a second life, your coffee won't just taste good, it will feel good too! Do your part for the environment and bring your used Nespresso aluminium coffee pods to Tweed City today!

The aluminium is sent for smelting and refining. The refined metal can then be used for a wide range of products, such homewares, bikes, computers, cars, knives, BBQ tongs, ladders, window frames or maybe, just maybe, another coffee capsule.

Once separated from the aluminium, the recovered coffee grounds are sent to a local composting facility. Coffee grounds are an excellent nitrogen source for composting and can be used in compost fertiliser to enrich large areas of soil such as rice fields or even vineyards.
