13 Sep 2021 --- Sainsbury’s has become the first UK retailer to label its own brand aluminum coffee pods as recyclable. The supermarket stresses that despite popular misconceptions and confusion, aluminum coffee pods can be recycled at home in the UK, provided they are empty of coffee grinds. “The two key things we needed to explore to see if the coffee pods could be recycled was how clean the pods needed to be and whether they were too small,” a Sainsbury’s spokesperson tells PackagingInsights.
