Why Biodegradable Alternatives Are Better Than Recyclable or Refillable Coffee Pods: Halo’s commitment to compostability has been the driving force behind our mission to rid the world of polluting plastic and aluminium capsules. Even though a large proportion of capsules can be recycled, the industry average rate of recycling is only 20%. This means 80% of capsules that are not re-captured make their way to landfills and the oceans. Even when they are recycled, the carbon footprint of recyclable pods can be an issue. This is because coffee capsules produced by industry leaders contain materials like silicone, plastic and aluminium. These materials require specialist facilities to remove and process each individual component. Consequently, this adds to the emission generated by transport between each plant, operational activity and further processing of pollutants released during the recycling process.

About us
Our mission is to curate the best coffees from around the world in an environmentally friendly, Nespresso® compatible capsule format. But, what does environmentally friendly mean? When we say eco-friendly, we mean compostable. When we say compostable, we mean home compostable. This means Halo's coffee pods will degrade in as little as four weeks in compost conditions. Once degraded, the nitrate-rich compostable Halo capsule can be used as a natural fertiliser to nourish soil. This is why we believe that home compostable materials are the most ec0-friendly and sustainable solution. The environmental benefits of home compostable materials are the reason for our commitment to ensuring that Halo pods, boxes, labels and all associated packaging are all home compostable and fully biodegradable.
