rePodder is a coffee capsule recycling tool that aims to reduce the landfill waste and carbon footprint associated with single-serve coffee pods. Currently, billions of single-use coffee capsules enter landfills each year. Compostable pods have been introduced, but they require industrial composting facilities which are not available in most communities. Developed in Australia, the rePodder safely opens aluminium pods so that the coffee grounds can be home composted and the aluminium pod can be recycled through normal recycling channels. This removes the inconvenience and additional carbon footprint of international mail-in programs. Aluminium is the highest value recyclable item that is processed through sorting facilities and helps offset the cost of processing mixed paper and plastic. It can be recycled repeatedly without degrading and uses 95 percent less energy than producing virgin aluminium. The tool is made from recycled and recyclable materials and has replaceable blades. rePodder is a member of the Queensland Social Enterprise Council.
