That's Christmas: New job for Christmas at Lidl?
Sainsbury's coffee pods now 100% recyclable
The aluminium pods can be recycled at home using a pod recycling device or by emptying with a teaspoon and then rinsing, before placing in kerbside recycling.
The coffee pod range has also seen over a 20% reduction in the amount of cardboard employed in packaging, with changes to the packaging and cases.
The new aluminium packaging means the range is now fully recyclable and will help to save over 10 million pieces of plastic annually.
The change is across the whole Sainsbury’s coffee pod range, helping customers recycle more at home.
The move comes after Sainsbury’s was the UKs first retailer to label its own-brand aluminium coffee pods as recyclable last year. Before this it was widely believed aluminium coffee pods were too small to be recycled at kerbside and needed to be recycled via specialist collection schemes.
The roll out of the packaging change across Sainsbury’s entire coffee pod range means more people can recycle their coffee pods at home.
To recycle, all coffee drinkers must do is empty the pods with a teaspoon, rinse them out and just place in their usual kerbside recycling.
Or they can purchase a Dualit EcoPress from Sainsbury’s. The device is an easy way to ensure coffee is separated and removed from the aluminium, and ready to be recycled. Whilst not essential, the EcoPress makes it quicker and easier, making recycling a bit easier.
Sainsbury’s has also reduced the amount of cardboard across the range by over 20%, via changes to the box packaging plus the cases the products are transported in.
The extensive variety of aluminium pods in the range means there's something for all! From blonde inspired trends featured in the Signature Light Roast coffee, to short-shot Ristretto coffee, Sainsbury’s is helping coffee lovers reduce their plastic waste. The aluminium pods can be purchased in both packs of 10 and 30 pods.

Frances Booth, UK Category & Development Marketing Manager, is thrilled to be expanding their confectionary range with these two new flavours: “We were utterly blown away by the response to our confectionary launch in August, so we're obviously delighted to be expanding our range with two delicious new flavours, further providing our customers with irresistible Belgian chocolate with a crunchy Lotus Biscoff taste sensation."
Frances went on to say: "Launching in Morrisons is the next step in expanding our confectionary stockists to ensure our customers can get their Lotus Biscoff chocolate fix easier than ever!”Morrisons will also stock Lotus Biscoff’s Milk Chocolate Biscoff Cream bar (180g) which launched in Co-op stores in August.
