All Nespresso coffee capsules are fully recycled at AVERDA recycling facility in Ghala As Sinaiyyah St, Muscat. Using a custom-made separation machine developed by Nespresso, we are able to separate the aluminium and coffee grounds. The aluminium is reused to create new aluminium products. The leftover coffee grounds are given to Farms to use as soil to help grow produce which you can find at your local supermarkets.
