Consumers who make an effort to find products that truly live up to their claims and research how to dispose of the packaging properly are faced with a limited selection. It’s also not OK that responsible coffee consumption often comes with a sacrifice.
However, it’s not OK to use eco-jargon to confuse people into purchasing something that isn’t as good as they think. It proves that consumers can make a difference and demand can truly change supply. It’s always going to happen and it’s no bad thing. There are still thousands of colourful, shiny capsules dropping into the top of Nespresso machines every minute, most of them destined to stick around for hundreds of years longer than the businesses who made them and the people who use them.īrands won’t stop tacking green credentials onto their products in order to appeal to an evolving consumer conscience. The coffee capsule industry has found a way to meet the minimum requirements for printing consumer-reassuring, environmentally friendly terms on their packaging – but not much has actually changed. Although much better than other options, bio-plastic capsules still need to be sent off to specially equipped plants where they may still be rejected due to the similarity in look and feel to oil-based plastics. However there is still very little clarity on how to dispose of these after use. Recognising this, some brands have transitioned into using industrially compostable materials. The harsh truth is that these capsules will be rejected at the plant and sent either to landfill or incinerated. The R-word, understandably, can confuse consumers into throwing their capsules straight from their coffee machine into the recycling bin thinking they have done their part for the environment. Unless coffee capsules are taken apart, washed out and processed in specially equipped facilities after use, they can’t be recycled. But putting a reassuring word like ‘recyclable’ on the front of a box can be misleading and doesn’t instantly solve the problem. The coffee capsule industry has responded by producing capsules that are more easily recyclable. The un-recycled capsules can remain on our planet for up to 500 years.Īs the world is becoming more aware to the environmental damage caused by plastic and aluminium use. This is because some coffee capsules cannot be recycled at all, while those that can are recycled via a long and tedious process. Of the 13,500 capsule coffees consumed every minute, only 21% of them are recycled. Hoping you all make the trip out to Halo Halo Cafe.The majority of the worlds coffee capsules are made of plastic, aluminium, or a combination of both. My husband felt the quality was higher end. The Halo Halo was crazy good! The cantaloupe was oh my gosh yummy (sweetened with sugar cane)! Growing up with a sugar cane tree, I truly can appreciate the delicious, nostalgic taste.
We kept buying a little and then a little more. So my husband ordered Kare Kare (meat, veggies in a peanut buttery sauce) with white rice, his Coke, then of course we ordered Halo Halo, and to go I ordered the cantaloupe drink (it is sweetened with sugar cane).

Little did we know they have a full blown kitchen in the back serving up meals! This place is small, cute but they actually have a lot to offer.
I never mentioned it to the hubby, and he said let's have a little Halo Halo date night.🥰 I said, Oh yeah!! I heard about this Cafe thru Google maps and it sounded good.
