Lane Cove florist, Pure Flowers, is participating in a nationwide environmental program to help recycle coffee capsules. Nespresso has joined with recycling and upcycling experts TerraCycle Australia to expand their recycling program at additional collection points around the country at florists, garden centres and nurseries.
Through this program, residents can now recycle their used Nespresso pods at no cost by visiting Pure Flowers and dropping their capsules (sealed in any plastic bag which will also be recycled) into the in-store recycling collection box. “Pure Flowers has been delivering flowers in the Lane Cove area for 20 years. This program is an exciting and new initiative for our florist that’s good for the planet and makes recycling capsules accessible for locals. We’re happy to chat to customers that drop in and why not grab some fresh flowers on your way!” said Ludmila Fedorovitch, owner, Pure Flowers.
TerraCycle will collect used Nespresso capsules sent in from the Nespresso Coffee Capsule Brigade program. The capsules will then be recycled at Nespresso’s recycling plant. Only Nespresso capsules made for in-home consumption are accepted as part of this program.
Pure Flowers (3, 23-25 Burns Bay Rd, Lane Cove) is a public collection point for Nespresso customers to deposit their Nespresso capsules. Location and contact information is located here.
