1/3 LESS VIRGIN PLASTIC BY 2025
We are focused on improving the design of our capsules and machines to use less virgin plastic wherever possible.

Reduce
Reduced plastic by decreasing the weight of our capsule
In 2022, we reduced the amount of plastic that’s needed to make our capsules by 13%, without compromising on product quality. This activity meant that we saved an amount of plastic, equivalent to 26.3M* capsules.

Recover
Increase the use of recycled plastic in our capsules
Since 2021 we have started to invest in the circular economy of polypropylene in partnership with our suppliers.
Year after year, we are increasing the usage of recycled polypropylene via mass balance to reach our goal of 1/3 virgin plastic reduction for our capsules.
Recycle
Our pods are designed to be recycled. We work with Podback and local infrastructure to give people who enjoy the quality and taste of coffee pods a simple way to recycle their pods.
We offer recycling bags online to ensure that anyone, anywhere in the country, can recycle their pods through one simple service.
Remember to add your free recycling bags to basket when you place your order on our website.

Rethink
Explore and Improve our technologies
We are constantly trying to improve our materials and technologies without compromising on quality and convenience for our consumers.
Increase the use of recycled plastic and the life of each machine.
By 2025, we aim to increase 1/3 of the proportion of recycled plastic in our machines.
We are focusing on improving the sustainability credentials of our machines by increasing the use of recycled plastic which is harder wearing, this ensures that our machines are made to last longer. As a result, our machines also come with a 15 year warranty in collaboration with our machine partner De’longhi.
Proud to use Regenerative Agriculture and 100% responsibly sourced coffee
We have achieved 100% responsibly sourced coffee and we are working to achieve 100% sustainably sourced cocoa in our beverages as well. We are starting a journey to support farmers to apply regenerative agriculture methods - with the aim of improving soil health and increasing biodiversity.
100% responsibly sourced coffee since 2022
Thanks to the NESCAFÉ® advanced sourcing program, 100% of our coffee beans have been responsibly sourced since 2022. Our beans come from certified or verified farmers applying independent standards with social, economic, and environmental practices that support a better future for coffee.
Committed to 100% sustainably sourced cocoa by 2025
As part of Nestlé's Cocoa Plan, we train farmers in better agricultural practices, distribute higher-yielding cocoa trees, promote gender equality, address instances of child labour and develop long-term relationships with farming groups.
By 2025, 100% of our cocoa beans will be sustainably sourced.
Striving towards 20% of our coffee coming from regenerative agriculture by 2025
Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that aims to improve soil health and fertility whilst also protecting water resources and biodiversity. Healthier soils are more resilient to the impacts of climate change and can increase yields, helping to improve farmers’ livelihoods. By 2025, we aim to have 20% of our coffee sourced through regenerative agriculture.
Did you know?
Milk represents around 40% our our emissions footprint. We are starting to invest in a transition to regenerative farming practices in our dairy supply chain with pilots in Spain and France which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst optimising farming practices such as through improved soil and manure management.

Zero Carbon emissions
100% renewable electricity in all our factories by 2025
We aim to switch to fully renewable electricity, such as wind and solar, in our sites all over the world by 2025. In 2022, 6 of our 7 factories were already using 100% renewable electricity.
Improve the energy efficiency of our machines
As of 2023, our new machine models will be launched with an A++ energy rating* and a 0-watt standby function, making their energy usage more efficient
*According to Swiss energy labels.
