Recycling Coffee Capsules Made Easy in Costa del Sol

Residents of Costa del Sol have long struggled with how to recycle coffee capsules, particularly those from Nespresso machines. A new initiative by AEcafé, in partnership with Urbaser, aims to solve this problem by establishing dedicated recycling points for these aluminum capsules. This effort is crucial as the waste from single-use coffee capsules has surged, often ending up in landfills due to their small size and lack of proper sorting technology. To address this, specific bins are being placed in various locations across Malaga, Fuengirola, and Churriana, making it easier for residents to recycle.

• AEcafé is collaborating with Urbaser to create recycling points for coffee capsules.

• Non-profit Circular Capsula has set up bins in multiple locations for easy access.

• Local grocery stores like Mercadona now feature coffee capsule recycling bins.

• The initiative supports EU waste management goals, aiming for a 90% reduction in landfill waste by 2035.

This initiative not only helps in reducing landfill waste but also promotes a more sustainable lifestyle among residents. By making recycling accessible, it encourages responsible waste management and contributes to a cleaner environment. The success of this program could serve as a model for other regions facing similar challenges.
