ESE pods are made from paper....
I've never tried them. TBH, there is still far more packaging involved in buying coffee for an espresso machine that has been prepacked into individual paper pods and shipped in a box, rather than just buying a 250g bag of coffee and tamping it yourself. They are not in the same league as nespresso pods. You can get compostable nespresso pods too though -

7 grams? Austerity coffee?

Yeah, I've even bought compostable and refillable pods for friends who own Nespresso machines so they can try them out but they always go back to the aluminium ones. What percentage of total pods used are niche manufactured and environmentally friendly? I think the big issue is the prevalence of them in almost every office and client room now.. I've seen entire bins filled with pods in a single day for just one floor. Nobody is accountable or even notices. 300,000,000 are used in the U.K annually.
I'd never heard of ESE pods before. Couldn't someone just use a calibrated tamper? I would have thought that and a basic grinder would make much nicer espresso. Arghhh.

@Bernhard Srsly tho.. fuck pods!
3g of virtually non-recyclable packaging, 90%ish of which ends up incinerated or in landfill, per 6g of coffee. Oooh but it's so convenient!!
