RECAP PROJECT IN TRIESTE

background

The first roadside collection of  plastic coffee capsules starts in Trieste under the broader umbrella of the RECAP project  - Let's recover plastic capsules together, we will give them new life - started in 2021, a project created to promote the creation of a system for the collection and recycling of used plastic coffee capsules, and which has evolved into an alliance for the recycling of capsules open to all manufacturers and distributors of capsules who want to contribute to a more circular economy. According to the most recent data, 72% of the coffee capsules used are plastic, 22% aluminum.

The Italian tradition of daily coffee consumption  therefore begins a more sustainable path for every citizen.

The coffee capsule market is growing strongly and managing the end-of-life of this waste, mostly plastic, is imperative. 

Our team has carried out this phase of the project thanks to the contribution of our Maurizio Monaci and the use of our product VARIO, a container for street furniture with an anti-intrusion delivery mouth, created to safely collect special types of waste that can be taken from the front doors equipped with a lock.
