Caprabo Recycles Waste From Two Million Coffee Capsules
Caprabo has announced that it has recycled 23,697 kilograms of waste from around 2 million coffee capsules collected by the company in the past year.
The supermarket installed containers to collect used coffee capsules for recycling in more than 200 stores last year.
Of all the recycled materials, 79% have become compost for mushrooms, fungi, and other compost substrates.
The remaining 13% derived from plastic and aluminium have been melted to give the material a second life, the retailer added.
