Nespresso Vertuo, which has aluminum pods, has recycle drop off points for them at certain stores (Williams Sonoma in the US).

  Both types of nespresso use aluminum pods

  Apparently less than 30% of nesspresso pods get recycled. And that says nothing about any other company's pods which probably have an even lower rate. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-16/most-nespresso-coffee-pods-not-being-recycled/11708910 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-16/most-nespresso-coffee...

  This simply isn't good enough. Recycling doesn't work if it either isn't convenient enough or isn't part of the communal fabric - and I'd argue that the second isn't there in small-to-medium town America, not to mention that some municipalities have been caught not actually recycling their stuff supposedly destined for recycling. I'd say at a minimum, such a product should always come with postage paid recycling envelopes.

    Nespresso gives you postage-paid recycling bags which you fill and drop-off at a shipper. > This simply isn't good enough. Recycling doesn't work if it either isn't convenient enough I hate this attitude that one cannot be bothered to do a thing that is universally good, unless it's convenient, easy, and painless. I am an espresso "snob", whatever that word means. I have had a lot of espresso in many places, from excellent to very bad. There's a wide range of good-enough which Nespresso consistently hit, and thus I have forsaken my quest to grind my own beans and be my own barista. Nespresso is better than many high-end coffee shops as well as fine dining establishments, surprising to me.
