By GlobalDataNespresso Canada marketing vice-president Julie Pomerleau said: “This announcement allows Nespresso to continue improving its environmental impact, a very important objective for us.
“This is a significant milestone in our journey towards circularity and in maximising the reuse of product materials.
“This is aligned with the principle of extended producer responsibility, a key concept for Nespresso.”
The launch is part of the company’s sustainable development approach, and Nespresso seeks to extend the two initiatives to all ranges of the consumer coffee and machines by the end of next year.
In Canada, Nespresso plays significant role in reducing residual materials across the country.
The company will continue to work with its partners to use the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) compliant aluminium.
Last month, Nespresso partnered with aluminium rolling and recycling company Novelis to launch a sustainable coffee capsule.
