Disposing of Coffee Machines

Plastic in the oceans, massive landfills in third-world countries, and contaminated soil from electronic waste. By December 2022, we want to recycle 10,000 coffee machines and take a different path. And for this, we need your support!

A coffee machine weighs around 10 kg, so we will recycle 100 tons of material. In our throwaway society, broken items are simply discarded and sent to the trash, where they are roughly recycled and then taken to landfills. But when it comes to coffee machines, Kaffee Müller can do more!

We can dismantle broken coffee machines and direct them into proper recycling streams. Timeless plastic components, like casings, can be sent to craft workshops or reintegrated into the secondary market. Faulty electronic parts, like circuit boards containing rare earth elements, are carefully recycled and made available to society again.

Through our network of recyclers and secondary market partners, we can operate without financial assistance from consumers or the government. We bear the entire economic risk ourselves! However, this is a price we are happy to pay if it means we can contribute to a better world.
