Yummy coffee in compostable coffee pods by Moving Beans for your coffee machine Compostable coffee pods for Nespresso-compatible capsules and other widely used coffee pods are explained below. Coffee capsules are super convenient and go well with the accerlerated pace of our modern times. They're rapid, uncomplicated to use, and consistently make a fatnastic cup of coffee. However, the environmental impact is a disaster! Despite efforts to encourage recycling, hundreds of millions of plastic and aluminium pods are being thrown away yearly, mainly Nespresso pods. In the UK alone, over 300,000,000 (!) aluminium and plastic coffee capsules are being used each year. Most of them (up to 95%) go straight to landfill without a second thought, even with the recycling programs that are put in place. When recycling does happen, it is at best a very difficult process (and sometimes it's completely impossible!) The plastic and aluminium capsules are made of several layers of specialized materials. This is necessary since the brewing process needs the pods to be strong enough to withstand immense pressure and heat. If not recycled, aluminium and plastic pods typically take more than 500 years to break down. But Moving Beans is coming to the rescue! Their fully compostable coffee pods and biodegradable coffee capsules take as little as 5 months to fully break down - the same amount of time as it takes for an orange peel to decompose! This was a very hard engineering problem to solve, mainly because the coffee pods need to be made to withstand the heat and pressure from the machine, but also because it's difficult to create a eco-friendly plastic that can create a perfect seal which keeps the coffee fresh. Howvever after months of planning, designing and testing, they've done it. What's more is that they’re very safe to be thrown out into your council food waste bins. And they have not forgotten the other vital component: delicious coffee. While the clever scientists on their team went to work on making compostable coffee pods, their coffee connoisseurs went on a mission to source some of the world's best coffees. The result is the earth’s finest coffees packed in fully-sustainable coffee capsules that always keep the coffee fresh - and you can get it from Moving Beans!
