Recycle or landfill?
Landfill
Whilst it isn't preferable the quickest way to dispose of our pods is to simply put them into your garbage bin.
Recycle
If you are willing and able to put in a bit more time and effort, then we can do a little bit better for mother nature by recycling our pods and making use of the coffee grinds. While many other pod brands require you to venture out to a recycling drop off location, ours can be placed into your council recycling bin.
-
Firstly the foil lid needs to be removed. The lids are too small to recycle on their own, however, they can be collected and combined into a large recyclable container like an aluminium soft drink can and then recycled.
-
The coffee grinds should be removed - they are great in your garden, veggie patch or home compost; they can also go into your green waste bin.
-
Lastly the pod should be rinsed off and placed in your recycling bin.
What about the pouch and box?
All our pods are packed in a pouch which is made from a soft plastic. This means that you can place it in a soft plastic recycling drop off location at a supermarket like REDcycle. The cardboard box is made from conventional cardboard and can also be placed into your recycling bin. The cardboard box can also be placed into your recycling bin.
