Plastic recycling has had a bad press recently. Is it worth recyling plastic coffee pods? The Podback service says the pods are taken to Yorkshire and shredded. Then the coffee grounds go to a local anaerobic digester to make biogas and the plastic is "reprocessed". Which means it might be made into plastic bags? Which will one day be burned?
I have 50 kg of capsules. Getting them to the Podback service is proving to be difficult. The council (Lambeth) accepts them in the non-recyclable rubbish, which I suppose means they burn them.
(Making coffee with a proper espresso machine is not something I can manage in the mornings. I've tried.)
