In Europe you can recycle used nespresso capsules. Looks like it is available in the states as well. http://www.nespresso.com/ecolaboration/recycling.html http://www.nespresso.com/ecolaboration/recycling.html Just relaying some personal experience here... in Austria we have had the off brand capsules for a while.
