Delicious coffee in compostable coffee pods by Moving Beans for your Nespresso machine
Coffee capsules are fairly convenient and go well with the rapid pace of our modern times. They're quick, uncomplicated to utilize, and consistently make a great cup of coffee. However, the environmental impact is horrible!
Despite efforts to encourage recycling, hundreds of millions of plastic and aluminium pods are being thrown away every year globally, mainly Nespresso pods. In the UK alone, over 300,000,000 (!) aluminium and plastic coffee capsules are being used each year. Most of them (up to 95%) go straight to landfill without a second thought, even with the recycling programs that are put in place.
When recycling does happen, it is at best a very complicated process (and sometimes it's simply impossible!) The plastic and aluminium capsules are made of several layers of specialized materials. This is necessary since the brewing process needs the pods to be strong enough to withstand immense pressure and heat.
If not recycled, aluminium and plastic pods typically take around 500 years to break down.
But Moving Beans is coming to the rescue! Their fully compostable coffee pods and eco-friendly coffee capsules take as little as 5 months to fully break down - the same amount of time as it takes for a fruit peel to decompose!
This was a difficult engineering problem to solve, mainly because the coffee pods need to be made to withstand the heat and pressure from the machine, but also because it's difficult to create a compostable plastic that can create a full seal which keeps the coffee fresh. Howvever after months of planning, designing and testing, they have done it.
What's more is that they’re very safe to be thrown out into your household food waste bins.
And they haven't forgotten the other vital component: delicious coffee. While the clever scientists on their team went to work on making compostable coffee pods, their coffee connoisseurs went on a mission to source some of the world's best coffees. The result is the earth’s finest coffees packed in fully-sustainable coffee capsules that always keep the coffee fresh - and you can get it from Moving Beans!
