Where to dispose of Vegecap?
Vegecap biodegrades completely in 26 weeks in a domestic compost. Made from plant matter, the capsule will help fertilize your soil. The earth will thank you!
If you don't have home composting facilities, you can dispose of Vegecap in your household waste garbage can or in industrial compost.
What is the Vegecap capsule made of?
The Vegecap capsule is made from Vegemat, a 100% plant-based, compostable and biodegradable raw material manufactured in France. Our innovative Vegemat raw material is composed exclusively of biomaterials (biopolymers) and natural components (cereal flours), and contains no aluminum, petroleum or bisphenol A.
Vegemat is degradable in a matter of months or days, compared with hundreds of years for aluminum. When it degrades, this material will also help fertilize your soil!
Vegemat is as biodegradable as wood and cardboard, and as easy to work with as plastic!

A solution to coffee capsule pollution
Nespresso coffee capsules are made from aluminum, a material that can be recycled ad infinitum... Yes, but aluminum waste takes several hundred years to disappear! Every year, 9 billion Nespresso capsules are sold worldwide, generating 40,000 tonnes of waste. Yet we know too little about how to recycle these polluting capsules: only 20% of capsules are recycled in France.
Vegecap has found the solution to this ecological disaster!
Capsules that are 100% biodegradable and compostable at home. So even those who don't have the time to take their capsules to collection points will have no excuse!
