We're committed to promoting environmentally-friendly practices, so here are some guidelines on how to dispose of each type responsibly.

biodegradable/compostable pods & 'biocap' pods
Our biodegradable and compostable coffee pods can be disposed of in your green waste bin or home compost bin, as they meet Australian standards for biodegradability and compostability.
