Nespresso has partnered with Australia Post in a move which will extend the coffee company's recycling program to those living in rural areas.

By using a special post satchel ordered online, consumers from anywhere in Australia can now mail their used aluminium capsules back to Nespresso through the post-back program.

The capsules are sent to a specialist recycling plant where equipment separates the recyclable aluminium from the used coffee grounds.

The grounds are then sent to make compost, and the aluminium from the used capsules is bailed and sent back into the aluminium industry to manufacture new products.
