Each component of our packaging is made from recyclable materials and can be easily separated and sorted, whether you're at home or on the go. Here's a breakdown of each part and how to dispose of it responsibly:
Capsule & Lid — Recyclable Plastic ♻ #5 (Polypropylene)
What it is: A durable, heat-resistant plastic commonly used in food containers.
How to recycle: After use, rinse the capsule to remove coffee residue. Then place it in your curbside recycling bin if your local program accepts #5 plastics (many do—check with your provider).
PET Box — Recyclable Plastic ♻ #1 (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
What it is: The same clear plastic used in water and soda bottles. Lightweight, transparent, and widely accepted in recycling programs.
How to recycle: Flatten the box to save space and place it in your household recycling bin. Most curbside programs accept #1 plastic.
Aluminum Seal — Recyclable Metal ♻ #41 (Aluminum Foil)
What it is: A thin aluminum layer used to keep your coffee fresh and sealed.
How to recycle: Peel off the seal and make sure it’s clean and dry. Place in your metal recycling or curbside bin (check local guidelines).
♻ Simple Tips for Effective Recycling
Keep it clean: Rinse out any coffee residue before recycling.
Separate materials: Remove the aluminum seal from the capsule and lid.
Check local rules: Recycling programs vary—confirm what your city accepts at Earth911.com or your local government website.
