I love capsule coffees during busy weekdays. Nespresso capsules brew me decent coffee so conveniently with minimal effort and maintenance. As much as I loved Nespresso, I was always wondering where these individual coffee capsules would go if I just threw them away in the trash can. It seemed like a waste. I soon became familiar with Nespresso’s recycling program – recycling used aluminum capsules and therefore reducing the waste.
Along with the recycling program, Nespresso offers a recycling bin, so users can collect empty coffee capsules until they’re ready to be shipped to the recycling center.
This is a bin dedicated to collecting and storing coffee capsules until they are ready to be sent back to Nespresso. I debated on purchasing this recycling bin for many months because I thought that it’d be a waste of money. This recycling bin is specifically made for Nespresso and retails for $20.
Of course, you can participate in Nespresso’s recycling program for free. You get free recycling bags with a prepaid shipping label to ship out coffee capsules. But if you want to store the empty coffee capsules in a neat container, you can buy a recycling bin separately.
I know, I know. It was a completely unnecessary purchase. However, I always hated the sight of a recycling bag that was laying around the countertop by the coffee machine. I ended up not recycling the capsules as diligently as I wanted because I just dumped them in the trash can just so I could avoid the sight of the heinous recycling bag. I mean, it takes a few weeks for me to fill up the recycling bag, and as long as I continued drinking Nespresso coffee, the recycling bag was meant to be there. Finally, I took the plunge and added this recycling bin to my last capsule order, and it arrived promptly.
The bin is made from recycled polypropylene to minimize waste. It would be counterintuitive to make a new plastic bin for the sake of recycling. Nespresso thoughtfully made its recycling bin using recycled materials.
The recycling bin is quite large – it can hold up to 60 Vertuo capsules and 160 used Original capsules. It measures 13.3 (h) x 8.5 (w) x 3.9 (d). It’s capacious, but its narrow and tall body fits neatly in between kitchen appliances. I keep it next to my coffee machine, and it sits nicely without taking up too much space.
The sleek design is also very modern and pleasing to look at. Its black body goes well with my kitchen, and it looks like a matching pair to my Nespresso machine. The bottom line is that it’s not an eyesore, so whoever’s using it can happily participate in recycling the capsules.
The recycling bin consists of 3 components – the top cap, lid, and body.
The body is quite self-explanatory; it’s where the capsules are stored.
The top cap has a practical handle attached, so it can easily be carried around.
The lid is the topmost part of this recycling bin and pops open easily so the capsules can be easily emptied without opening the entire cap. I was impressed with Nespresso’s attention to detail. I believe recycling should be convenient for it to be sustainable, and Nespresso makes recycling easier.
Nespresso’s recycling bin offers a stylish and practical way to collect empty capsules until you’re ready to ship them back to them. I’ll be getting many uses out of this bin in the future.
