Instead of
Coffee pods Reusable pod or ground coffee
Why switch
Healthier
Fresh-ground coffee, with no capsule lining between you and your cup.
Greener
Billions of mixed plastic-and-aluminium capsules are too small to sort, so most are landfilled or burned.
The impact
You, per year 200 coffee pods
All of the world 1.62 trillion coffee pods skipped / year
If everyone across the world switched, every year that’s:
- 1.62 trillion coffee pods
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Reduce
A refillable pod or a simple filter brews the same cup, capsule-free.
Reuse
Refill the same pod each morning; tip the grounds onto the garden.
Recycle
Used grounds compost; if you must use capsules, return them to a take-back scheme.
