Nespresso Capsules have a free post-back program and drop off points, run by TerraCycle.
Nespresso has partnered with global recycling and upcycling pioneers TerraCycle to expand its recycling programme.
Caloundra Florist has been working with TerraCycle for six months to help recycle used coffee capsules.
Coffee pods are popular as a convenient way to enjoy a cup of coffee at the push of a button. However, the small single-serve capsules are increasingly becoming an environmental issue with millions being sent to landfill every year. Did you know that Terracycle provides free recycling of certain brands of coffee pods?
Recycling used satchels
Did you know that not all councils allow soft plastics to be recycled? That includes the plastic satchels you often receive your online shopping in. To combat this, we’ve teamed up with
TerraCycle so that our customers are always able to recycle our products.
We’re also working alongside TerraCycle to help other big brands such as Colgate, Garnier, Maybelline, L’Oreal and Natures Own, recycle their products through our network. Toothbrushes, coffee capsules, cosmetic items and more move through Australia Post to be repurposed and recycled.

That message is reinforced by the Australian wing of US eco business TerraCycle, which partners with the likes of Nespresso, Colgate, Australia Post and L'Oreal to recycle its waste.
Like Green Thread, TerraCycle acknowledges consumers are more likely to make the right choice when the solution is spoon fed to them. For example, Nespresso sponsoring the recycling of its
notoriously wasteful pods.
"There is no doubt a growing concern for the world around us, and recycling is an integral part of minimising our impact on the environment. We see recycling as apolitical, in that we can all agree it's a good idea. Eventually, we realised that businesses, government and individuals may also be willing to pay to divert these products from landfill, and that we could provide the recycling solutions they were looking for," Gemma Kaczerepa, from TerraCycle Australia, said.
Its new product, Zero Waste Box is a self-assembled box that can collect different waste items such as hair nets or binders, pens, pencils or markers.
