Dongsuh Foods Launches 'Kanu Barista' Capsule Recycling Program

Collect in designated collection bags and apply for pickup on the website
Separate aluminum and coffee grounds for resource recycling

Dongseo Food announced on the 22nd that it will carry out the coffee capsule recycling program ‘Kanuwa Hamkke Green (GREEN) Tomorrow’.

In February, Dongseo Food introduced the premium capsule coffee ‘Kanu Barista’ machine and capsules. The ‘Kanuwa Hamkke Green Tomorrow’ program is a resource circulation initiative that collects and recycles aluminum capsules left after drinking Kanu capsule coffee, conducted in collaboration with the global recycling innovation company TerraCycle.

The collection targets are Kanu Barista exclusive capsules and Kanu Nespresso-compatible capsules. Used capsules should be gathered in the Kanu capsule exclusive collection bag, sealed, and then participation can be applied for through the recycling program page on the official Kanu website. Upon application, a courier will visit to collect the capsules, which are then separated into aluminum and coffee grounds for resource circulation.

Drying the used capsules before placing them in the bag helps with hygiene management, and collecting more capsules is effective in reducing the carbon footprint. The Kanu capsule exclusive collection bag can be selected as an option when purchasing a machine or capsules at the official Kanu brand store.

A Dongseo Food official said, “We have started the aluminum capsule recycling program that Kanu and consumers practice together for a sustainable future of the Earth,” adding, “After drinking Kanu Barista, you can easily separate and dispose of the capsules and further achieve resource circulation effects, so we hope many people will participate.”
