‘A Significant Milestone’

Nespresso's head of sustainability, Jérôme Pérez, said, "We are constantly challenging ourselves to improve the sustainability and circularity of our operations, including the way we source, use, and recycle materials.

“Reaching 80% recycled aluminium in our capsules is a significant milestone, and something we have worked hard to achieve together with our suppliers.”
