Capsule collector
Coffee consumption, especially with espresso machines, has been a growing trend for a while now, but the ecological impact of used capsules and pods has become a major environmental issue. Capsule collectors, such as the Greenoffice “Ecos classic” and “Ecos easy” models, offer an innovative solution to this challenge. Such collection systems are a practical way to ecologically manage waste generated by capsules, pods, coffee pots and other small metal packaging.
Why should we recycle coffee capsules?
Recycling coffee capsules and pods is not just a trend, it’s a necessity for a sustainable future. These capsules and pods are often made of aluminium and plastic, and their waste has a major impact on the environment.
Environmental impacts of capsules
Coffee capsules and pods, particularly those made of aluminium or plastic, have a significant impact on the environment. If they are not properly disposed of in selective sorting bins, they can take hundreds of years to decompose. Furthermore, they make up an increasing share of household waste, which increases the volume of refuse sent to landfill sites and sorting centres.
Recycling raw materials
Capsule recycling recovers valuable raw materials that can be transformed into new products. Aluminium and plastic, once recycled, significantly reduce the need to extract and process virgin raw materials, thus contributing to a significant reduction in carbon footprint.
Features of our capsule collectors
Our capsule collectors are designed to combine practicality and style, blending perfectly into various environments, from offices to company canteens.

Instructions for use
The efficiency of a capsule collection system depends largely on whether it is used correctly or not. Here are a few tips to optimise the use of your capsule collector.
Installing it in a strategic location
Where you install your capsule collector is key to encourage recycling. Place it near coffee machines or in break rooms, so capsules, pods and other packaging can be immediately disposed of.
Emptying and cleaning it regularly
To ensure hygienic and efficient use, it’s important to empty the collector regularly. Regular maintenance and cleaning not only extends the lifespan of the collector, but also ensures that break rooms and canteens remain clean and welcoming.
