Starbucks^® Smooth Caramel by Nespresso^®

Coffee is protected from the outside, while aromas are preserved inside. Aluminium is the most protective material available today. It guarantees the freshness of the aromas and flavours of our coffees. Lightweight but strong, aluminium seals it from external elements which could harm it - oxygen, moisture and light. On top of this, 80% of the aluminium in our capsules is recycled aluminium. The benefit of using recycled aluminium is linked to the amount of energy saved in the production of the aluminium, so it is well-suited to use in a circular business model.
The recycled aluminium comes from a variety of sources including post-consumer scrap as well as scrap recovered during production processes.
By using 80% recycled aluminium, we demonstrate the recyclability of aluminium and want to engage our consumers to recycle their aluminium capsules.
