Our Organic Nespresso Compatible Pods are USDA and Fair Trade certified, boasting valuable fiber, iron, zinc and potassium nutrients as well as being made of biodegradable ecovio material which helps resist mechanical stress and moisture intrusion.

Non-organic coffee is treated with harmful chemicals known to cause cancer, hormone imbalances and other serious health conditions. Organic coffee on the other hand is free from these dangerous toxins.

How Nespresso Sources Their Coffee

Nespresso revolutionised the coffee industry in the 80s with their revolutionary pod technology that enabled people to enjoy barista style Italian espresso at home. Since then, they have grown into an international giant, boasting USD$6.3 billion in 2020 sales alone. But their business model has come under threat with new competitors emerging with eco-friendly production methods and coffee pods that may pose serious competition to Nespresso’s dominance of the market.

Nespresso offers an assortment of coffee blends and single origin varieties to meet every palate, as well as their signature aluminium capsules that provide pressurised seal. Their special process for crafting the perfect cup ensures consistency and sustainability practices are kept up with.

Nespresso coffee is grown in areas with high biodiversity and managed sustainably, including using organic farming practices when possible. Farmers are supported through a Fairtrade premium paid on top of purchase price and decided democratically by cooperative members – this money is invested into business investments, education and healthcare programs as well as Nespresso working directly with them on developing future plans for their businesses with help transitioning organic methods as well as saving plans for younger generations.

Nespresso’s sustainability policy centers around their use of recycled and biodegradable materials. Their iconic aluminium capsules can be recycled and reused to make new capsules; in fact, Nespresso has set up recycling programs across Europe!

Nespresso recently began working with small farmers who practice eco-friendly growing methods and raise their crops without chemicals, producing coffee that can be purchased direct from these farms through Nespresso’s online shop or their flagship stores.

The company strives to offer their customers an easy online and offline customer experience, featuring live-chat support on its website and an app for managing accounts and placing orders while on the move.

Nespresso’s Sustainability Policy

Nespresso is committed to creating shared value throughout the coffee supply chain from farm to cup. They work closely with non-profit organisations and development agencies such as Rainforest Alliance, TechnoServe, Acumen and Root Capital among other partners such as Rainforest Alliance to deliver sustainable quality coffee while supporting farmer livelihoods. As part of their sustainability policy they have also invested in natural climate solutions such as low carbon materials sourcing as part of logistics improvements and including eco-design in their products.

The company takes its commitment to sustainability seriously by producing aluminium capsules which are 100% recyclable, made from both recycled and new material, and implemented recycling programs across a few countries initially, but have since expanded this service and now provide recycling points in 31 markets, offering home collection in 15 of these markets. Furthermore, they are working alongside other capsule manufacturers in developing infrastructure to collect used capsules and recycle them effectively.

Nespresso continues to work toward its environmental goal of recycling 14 billion pods annually sold, but experts estimate only 5 of them end up recycled due to landfill disposal or mold growth in recycling bags left for extended periods. Without concrete ways of tracking recycling rates and claims made against Nespresso it can be challenging for the company to demonstrate success in meeting them.

To address these challenges, the company has invested in improving their recycling infrastructure and is piloting a system enabling consumers to drop off used capsules at any point of sale using eddy current separation technology to increase recycling efficiency. Furthermore, reusable and compostable capsules made from plant-based material have also been introduced which can be used with any machine for convenient recycling.

Nespresso has achieved some significant environmental milestones through these initiatives, including zero waste-to-landfill and 100% renewable electricity production. They have also reduced their carbon footprint per cup of coffee by 24% since 2009 levels by investing in renewable energy, sourcing low carbon materials, reducing logistics operations and planting over 5 Million Trees through Pur Projet’s partnership.

Nespresso’s Recycling Policy

Nespresso is committed to reducing waste, and they’ve implemented a recycling program where you can recycle your used capsules. Simply visit any Nespresso Boutique or mail them back and they will turn into compost and biofuel; plus you can recycle aluminum through local recycling programs!

Nespresso capsules are constructed of high-grade recycled aluminum that is easily recyclable multiple times, saving energy and resources that would be otherwise spent harvesting raw materials. Furthermore, Nespresso partners with companies like Caran d’Ache to utilize recycled aluminum into products. This helps small businesses thrive while giving products another life that might otherwise end up in landfills.

Nespresso takes sustainability very seriously and uses organic ingredients. They source their coffee from farms certified by Rainforest Alliance – helping farmers improve their livelihoods and foster community well-being while working closely with small farmers on Earth-friendly agriculture techniques.

Nespresso has joined forces with New York City Department of Sanitation to reduce their environmental impact, by encouraging recycling of coffee capsules through NYC’s curbside program. Doing this will significantly decrease waste that ends up in landfills and oceans.

Nespresso capsules can be recycled at any of its boutiques and select retailers, or brought to a recycling center or office nearby for recycling. Once in these locations, they’re separated out and processed into raw material that’s then turned into raw compost and topsoil suitable for garden areas.

Artizan Coffee’s organic Nespresso-compatible pods offer a healthier alternative to traditional coffee, featuring certification as organic, fair trade and UTZ. Furthermore, their pods are sealed using ecovio – an eco-friendly material which not only protects from moisture damage but is biodegradable as well!

Nespresso’s Organic Policy

Nespresso takes great pride in both sourcing and producing premium coffee, as well as its social responsibility initiatives. Their coffee bears Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade certifications, guaranteeing fair markets and better living standards for farmers. Furthermore, Nespresso holds B Corp certification – an exceptional standard not often met by other businesses.

Nespresso has implemented an extensive sustainability policy, covering every facet of their business from procurement and production through packaging and disposal. They aim to achieve zero waste by 2023 while constantly looking to improve their practices – Nespresso even developed a recycling system to limit aluminum and plastic entering oceans!

Nespresso now offers organic pods as well as their sustainable counterparts to meet consumer demands for products free of pesticides and synthetic chemicals. Organic Nespresso pods are constructed using ecovio material – biodegradable BASF polymer combined with corn-based polylactid acid that’s more resistant to mechanical stress and moisture exposure – meaning freshness will last longer when using organic Nespresso pods.

Nespresso now offers organic capsules for all its espresso, lungo and decaf blends as part of its Professional Origins range. In Peru Organic they source beans from smallholder farms located in Cajamarca region of northern Peru using shade trees as well as natural fertilizers like guava and lucuma as natural fertilizers to cultivate coffee that offers floral notes with citrusy undertones and subtle rose notes resulting in floral, fruity coffee with notes of citrus and rose flavors.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Nespresso has been working closely with their suppliers to provide financial support and assistance for farmers living in affected areas. Through their program “Reviving Origins,” they offer training, improved agronomy practices and better access to financing/credit. Furthermore, hygiene kits have been made available so as to protect both farmers and their families from infection.

Nespresso has pledged $1 Million to Puerto Rico’s coffee industry after the devastating hurricanes, helping local farmers rebuild livelihoods while supporting agricultural research that enhances quality and resilience of its coffee crops.
