We believe coffee should be as kind to the planet as it is to your taste buds. That’s why we’ve created biodegradable, Nespresso®-compatible capsules made from coffee waste - no plastic, no aluminum, just the natural byproduct of the bean roasting process that would usually go to waste. For us, it’s more than a new capsule, it’s a commitment to rethinking how we consume, in and for the future.

Why say goodbye to aluminum and plastic?

Traditional coffee capsules rely heavily on materials that leave a lasting environmental footprint:

• Aluminum is energy-intensive to produce, requiring vast resources to smelt and mold.
• Most capsules are only partially recyclable - while aluminum may be reused, the plastics and silicone rings often aren’t.
• Plastic components can persist in nature for centuries, never truly breaking down.
  
  

We’ve found a smarter, more circular solution. By upcycling coffee silverskin - a thin layer that naturally peels off during the roasting process - we create a bio-based material for our new capsules.

Silverskin is no ordinary waste. It’s rich in potential, packed with p to 86% soluble dietary fibers.

This once-discarded skin is now the hero of our sustainability story, transformed to biodegradable high-performance, capsules that match the quality of traditional alternatives - without the environmental cost.

The Circular Coffee Capsule

With our new capsules, your coffee leaves only a minimal trace - as the silverskin from one batch is reborn as the capsule for the next—delivering bold, flavorful coffee in a closed-loop system where nothing goes to waste, because at Sjöstrand, we believe sustainability should be the standard, not the exception.

Biodegradable, by design

Made from biodegradable materials, our capsules are designed with a smaller footprint in mind. Unlike conventional alternatives, the capsule material is designed to biodegrade over time under the right conditions.

The result? A coffee capsule made with what comes after your morning coffee in mind, without compromising on the coffee itself.

For disposal, always follow your local recycling and waste-sorting guidelines, as these may vary depending on where you live.
