illycaffè, the global leader in sustainable high-quality coffee, has joined Coffee Capsule Recycling Netherlands, the Dutch organisation dedicated to recycling used aluminium and plastic coffee capsules.

Through this partnership, which also involves other coffee companies, illycaffè aims to improve the disposal and recycling processes for used capsules. Coffee Capsule Recycling Netherlands collaborates with waste processors to achieve ambitious recycling targets: increasing the recycling rate for aluminium capsules from 25% to 75% and for plastic capsules from 5% to 60%.

illycaffè’s commitment to ecological sustainability is reflected in its initiatives for a circular economy across the entire supply chain. The company focuses on collaborating with waste management organisations, developing recyclable and reusable materials, and improving infrastructure for responsible waste processing.

Joining Coffee Capsule Recycling Netherlands is an important step forward for illycaffè in promoting a responsible and sustainable model of coffee consumption.
