Bluecup Lid Disposal

Simply collect lids in an aluminium can, squeeze it shut when full, and place in your home recycling bin.

If you ever use larger sheets of aluminium, alternatively these can be scrunched up into a ball, which a larger pierce of foil around the outside to contain them.

The general rule of thumb is about the size of a tennis ball so that the machines can pick them up.

Why do Bluecup capsules utilise recyclable lids?

Since launching in 2014, Crema Joe tested, trialled and experimented with a significant number of reusable capsule material options and combinations.
From this research, the criteria included that the product must:

• Be as sustainable as possible (either closing-the-loop or fully recyclable)

• Be production compliant and

• Meet all food safety standards and regulations

During our explorations and research, we found that the simple act of piercing the capsule lid creates a pressure build-up, which results in a richer brew and crema.

Cream Joe does stock capsules with stainless steel reusable lids, we use fully recyclable, BRC certified and ISO 9001 certified Aluminium lids for our Bluecup capsules.

When our customers switch to reusable - we hope they'll keep reusing for the lifetime of their pod machine! By refilling the capsule, and composting the grounds, our customers are drastically reducing their kitchen waste, whilst still enjoying the lovely espresso coffee that Bluecup is famous for.
