In the main bin you’ll find the coffee grounds. On inspection, I found a few bits of aluminium from the base of the test capsules had dropped on occasion, but these are easy to fish out, with the coffee grounds emptied into a regular bin, food bin, or compost bin.Claire Hughes, Director of Product and Innovation at Sainsbury’s says:“We’re always looking for new ways to help our customers live more sustainably at home, and key to that is making sure any changes are small and easy to implement. That’s why we decided to challenge the notion that aluminium coffee pods can’t be recycled and with consumers more concerned about the planet than ever before, it felt like a natural place to look.

This is where the Dualit EcoPress comes in: it squeezes the coffee out of Nespresso and Nespresso-compatible pods so the aluminium containers can be added to your recycle bin, while the coffee grounds can be used elsewhere, such as for compost. Design and Features To use it, you place the coffee pod face down on the top section, place the lid on top and push down to turn the capsule inside out; the action pushes the coffee grounds into the bin below. It’s really as simple as that. To help educate consumers about how to recycle their coffee pods, Sainsbury’s has become the first UK retailer to label its own brand aluminium coffee pods as recyclable. This label will make clear the importance of emptying the pod and rinsing it before placing it in the recycling bin, so that the clean aluminium can be sorted and recycled. As with the Dualit EcoPress for the standard capsules, the Dualit EcoPress for Vertuo is a plastic device designed to push a Vertuo Pod inside out, spilling its used coffee grounds into the bin, leaving the aluminium shell for recycling.Until now, it’s been widely believed that aluminium coffee pods are too small to be recycled and need to be recycled via specialist collection schemes – but that’s not the case
