Circular Materials is pleased to collaborate with Nespresso on its Green Bag Recycling Program in London, Ontario. This marks another milestone in the journey to provide residents with an easy and convenient solution to recycling. The City of London is the first municipality in Ontario to adopt this innovative recycling solution.

The Nespresso Green Bag Program offers an easy way for residents to recycle their used aluminum Nespresso capsules. Londoners can now place their used capsules in the Nespresso green bag and deposit it in their blue box at home. Once collected, these bags are sent to a sorting center, where the capsules undergo a specialized process to separate the coffee grounds from the aluminum. The aluminum is then recycled, and the coffee grounds are transformed into high-quality compost.

“Circular Materials celebrates the expansion of Nespresso’s Green Bag Solution in London, Ontario, and is proud to contribute to advancing the circular economy by bringing an easy and convenient solution to recycling in residents’ homes. This initiative is a testament to the power of partnerships and collaborating with stakeholders. By working together, we are bringing innovative solutions to improve recycling and enhance the recycling system in Ontario,” said Allen Langdon, CEO of Circular Materials.

“Implementing the Green Bag Program in Ontario has been a priority for Nespresso for years now – we are proud that this additional solution is brought to London, Ontario,” said Carlos Oyanguren, President of Nespresso Canada. “Nespresso has played a key role in reducing residual materials in Canada by implementing innovative recycling solutions for over a decade now. We are confident that this collaboration with Circular Materials in Ontario will enhance recycling and we look forward to expanding this solution to other municipalities.”

Circular Materials is committed to leading advancements in recycling and enhancing the blue box system in Ontario. The launch of the Green Bag Program in London represents a dedication to providing innovative and effective recycling solutions, and Circular Materials looks forward to collaborating with additional municipalities in Ontario and across Canada to further improve recycling accessibility and efficiency.
