    Nespresso pods are allegedly recycled. They give you bags to mail them back. I’m assuming they don’t pay for those shipping labels just to trash them.

      Plastic recycling is a scam. Most of the things you throw into the yellow bin get shredded, burned or just sent off to a pile. We didn’t get micro plastics in our blood from recycling.

        Nespresso’s pods are aluminum, not plastic (well, the foil that hold the pod closed might be plastic?). Aluminum can be recycled pretty well.

        Though, of course, the environmental impact is still way higher than any non-pod brewing method.

          Debatable. I hate the things, but this is not that clear-cut

        Well it’s a good thing their pods aren’t plastic!

          They use plastics for lids and lining, but hey, nestle says they’re eco friendly and nestle has never done anything wrong or misguided any of their consumers.
