This Stainless Steel Coffee Capsules Is Stopping 700 Million Plastic Pods From Entering The Ocean
EXPOSED: even when YOU recycle your coffee capsules, they still end up in oceans and landfills!

This new invention is changing everything! Keep reading to find out why thousands of people are making the switch.
1. Every single plastic or aluminum capsule is a potential hazard for marine life and recycling isn't stopping it
When you see a picture of a sea turtle eating a plastic bottle, pod or straw, the first thought that comes to mind is: "why are people not recycling, it's so easy!"?
The answer is that it’s actually not so easy: coffee capsules are hard to recycle because you need to separate the plastic/aluminum from the coffee before recycling them. Only a handful of recycling facilities can handle them, so they will for the vast majority of them end up in landfills. So while Keurig, one of the main coffee capsule brands, boasts that its capsules are "recyclable", in reality they are almost never recycled. "...telling people something is recyclable when it’s not accepted in the recycling program is just making the (contamination) problem worse right now” says Jim McKay, Toronto’s city official in charge of recycling.
Fully aware of this problem, the leader of the market Nespresso® decided to start a recycling program to improve their image. The only issue... Is that only 20% of their capsules get recycled this way. And more importantly: the aluminum alloy required to produce their single-use capsules cannot be made from recycled capsules. In short, every single aluminum capsule ever produced will have to be produced from non-recycled aluminum.
Here is the hard TRUTH: Your coffee capsules DO NOT get recycled.
Most of it gets shipped to poor countries and ends up in landfills or the ocean!
Last year, 80 billion throw-away coffee capsules were sold.
The extent of the ecological catastrophe is such that on 25th November 2022 the European Union decided to start a draft regulation to ban single-use coffee capsules.
2. The Coffee Brands Are Selling These Pods At The Price Of Gold
In the case of Nespresso®, pods are being sold at around 50 cents.
Let's do some quick math. Each pod contains 5 grams of coffee. So that's 10 cents per gram of coffee. So the 250g packs of coffee that you can buy in supermarket would cost you £25 at this price (a fortune), instead of the usual £2-5.
Nespresso® justifies this price by saying that their coffee is of a very high quality. We think this argument is not valid, as you can find 100% Arabica Specialty Coffee from local coffee roaster at £10 per pack easily, ie 250% cheaper.
So why are these so expensive? Well, because people are paying such a high price without really realising it. Over a year, on average this represents around £500 thrown out the window. Do you understand now why their machine are not expensive?
3. Scientific Studies Have Found Traces Of Carcinogenic Elements In Single-Use Capsules
Studies have found traces of bisphenol A, bisphenol B, and Furan present in single-use coffee capsules.
Bisphenol A is dangerous to human health and can be at the origin of problems related to the cardiovascular system, metabolism, cancer, and immune and reproductive systems. Furan can cause liver damage and liver cancer.
On top of that, there are doubts about the long-term implications on people’s health to ingest aliments that have been in contact with heated aluminum. It may indeed be linked to an increase risk of Alzheimer's Disease, according to a research paper published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. A lot of single-use coffee capsules are made of aluminum, so it is highly recommended to refrain from using them.
4. There Is A Simple Solution For This, And It Will Shock You!
If you are still using expensive, plastic and chemical filled single-use coffee capsules… There is a better way!
