The Nespresso system is a great way to get your morning coffee. It’s fast, convenient, and you can use it to make anything from lungo to espresso. But there is one thing that the Nespresso Compostable Pods have in common with the traditional plastic ones: they are not biodegradable. That’s why I prefer to use compostable capsules instead.
They are fully biodegradable.
Nespresso pods are made from a biodegradable material, which means that when you’re done with your pod, it can be disposed of in the compost heap or even recycled.
This is a great improvement on the old style of espresso pods, which were made from materials that were not biodegradable and could not be recycled. The new generation of coffee pods are made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugar cane, which means they’re better for the environment than their predecessors.
They are made from plants, not plastic.
The core reason to switch to Nespresso’s compostable pods is that they are made from plants, not plastic. They’re also recyclable, but the process of recycling them will use up more energy than simply throwing away the plastic and starting again.
Plastic is an essential part of our lives, but it’s a finite resource that can take centuries or even millennia to decompose. It’s one of the most common and contentious resources on Earth: if you look at any beach anywhere in the world, you’ll see plastic everywhere – think about how much of it ends up in a landfill every year!
Plastic takes thousands of years to degrade naturally and during this time it leaches toxins into our environment which are harmful for wildlife and humans alike (these include BPA). In addition, producing plastic requires oil – another resource that is finite and non-renewable (we have already used up over half our fossil fuel reserves).
We need to do everything we can as individuals and societies worldwide so that we don’t deplete these precious natural resources any further than necessary – for more information about how plastics affect marine life see here.
They can be recycled.
The Compostable Nespresso Pods are made from plant-based materials, which means that they can be recycled in composting facilities. Composting is a natural process which means that when you put your compostable waste in landfills, it will break down and turn into soil through bacteria and microorganisms.
However, if you live in an area where there aren’t any composting facilities nearby or if you don’t have any space left in your garden for your own compost pile then there’s no need to worry as these pods can also be recycled as food waste. They’re just like any other paper product so they can go straight into regular trash bins or community recycling centers too!
100% coffee beans are used.
You will not find any other additives or plastic in Nespresso Compostible Pods. Coffee beans are the only ingredient used and they are 100% biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly alternative to traditional pods.
The Nespresso compostable capsules are made from a biodegradable material called PLA (polylactic acid), which is derived from plants. This means they are 100% compostable and will break down in just 45 days without harming the environment.
Conclusion
Nespresso compostable pods are a great alternative to plastic ones. They are made from plants, not plastic, and can be recycled. They also have a number of other benefits that make them an excellent choice for environmentally conscious coffee drinkers.
