Environmentally-Friendly Tea Pods

It is thought that coffee and tea pods made from aluminium can end up taking around 150 – 200 years to degrade – many of those years they will be lying around in a landfill. If that isn’t bad enough, it is thought that the process used to refine the aluminium that goes into the capsules, produces a great deal of toxic waste.

For some people, going without their daily caffeine fix just doesn’t seem like an option. The little capsules that bring you a cup of joy at just the flick of a button and the whir of a machine are quick and easy ways of getting a quality hit.
