A collaboration proposal for Nespresso: compostable capsules made from pressed coffee grounds.
39,000
capsules are thrown away every minute.
500 years
is how long they can take to break down.
≈26 weeks
is how long a bioshot capsule takes.
How it works
- 1
Coffee brews as the water flows through.
- 2
Filtered through micro-pleats.
A compostable, bio-based oxygen barrier with an unbreakable filter lid that keeps the extraction quality intact.
Decomposition process
One of the challenges was making visible what usually goes unseen: the material, how it works and how it regenerates biologically.
- Week 0
- Week 10
- Week 21
Capsule, lid and label: it all returns to the earth.
Made from pressed coffee grounds and biodegradable materials.
The proposal extended to social media content, with the product as the star.
Next project
Le Tour de L’Élégance
A tour of French elegance.
