Nespresso Discontinues Paper-Based Compostable Capsules
What happened
Nespresso is discontinuing its paper-based, home-compostable coffee capsules, which were introduced as an alternative to its aluminum single-use capsules. The Swiss company confirmed the decision in late September, stating that aluminum remains the best material for preserving coffee quality. The initiative, which reached 14 European markets, followed three years of research and development.

Why it matters
The discontinuation shifts Nespresso's product strategy back entirely to aluminum capsules. This change affects the supply chain for the specific paper capsule SKU and impacts retail inventory across various markets.
