Terracycle provide a great service that allows you to recycle your pods. You will need to collect them, clean them and send them through the post, alternatively depending on the brand you use, you can take them back to the store and have them recycle them for you. Nespresso pods can be taken directly to a Nespresso store that offers the recycling service. Nescafe Dulce Gusto pods can be sent to Terracycle for recycling.

As a social business with a triple bottom line of ‘planet, people and profit’ TerraCycle’s motivation from its beginning as a worm fertiliser start-up to a global recycling company is to ‘eliminate the idea of waste’. Through nationwide collection programs called Brigades, that are free and accessible, TerraCycle’s purpose is to recycle ‘unrecyclable’ waste streams that others deem challenging, impossible or unsavoury and provide a cyclical solution through reuse, upcycling and recycling. TerraCycle does not believe in linear solutions such as incinerating waste or waste-to-landfill.

Viva the Flower shop, Angaston is getting behind the recycling spirit by providing the Barossa region with a drop off location for used Nespresso Coffee Pods.

Have you ever wondered what to do with those used Nespresso pods piling up in your rubbish bin? James's Nursery, in Blenheim, has become a drop-off point for people who want to recycle the aluminium capsules and reduce the amount of waste they produce.

Nespresso has partnered with Terracycle in a zero waste initiative to recycle their 100% recyclable coffee pods. From these collection points, the pods are taken to a Southern NSW recycling plant and completely recycled – used grounds composted and aluminium melted down to make new products. So awesome!!!

City-dwellers are embracing the trend of zero waste living to live more sustainably. Living a completely rubbish-free life is difficult but some are managing to reduce their waste so dramatically that two years worth of rubbish can fit into a mason jar.

IF YOU think living your life without producing any rubbish is impossible, just ask the growing number of city-dwellers embracing the trend. Living a completely rubbish-free life is difficult but some are managing to reduce their waste so dramatically that two years worth of rubbish can fit into a mason jar.

Filling your recycling bin isn't enough: each Aussie home produces over one tonne of waste annually, and 70 percent of it still ends up in landfill. We are the second highest producers of waste per person in the world behind the United States. The question is what more can we do? Here’s how to shrink your waste and become an eco warrior.

Though what many of us don't know is that Nespresso pods are recyclable. Sure, it's not as easy as chucking them in the designated council bin, but there's collection points all over the country. Nespresso has capsule collection points in all of its Australian stores, but now you'll also find them in a whole bunch (pardon the pun) of florists across the country.
