In a world constantly evolving and grappling with environmental challenges, the need for sustainable practices has become more urgent than ever. As individuals, we have the power to make a difference by making conscious choices in our everyday lives. If you are looking for ways to be more sustainable, you can look to books and coffee for inspiration and guidance.
In partnership with Nespresso Australia and the Find Your Favourite campaign, we are sharing some educational and inspiring reads for those who are passionate and want to learn more about sustainability, climate change and the environment.
The aluminium in Nespresso capsules is infinitely recyclable. To encourage more Australians to be a part of the solution, Nespresso has provided a list of accessories to make it easier for you to get involved. It also includes second-life products that demonstrate the possibilities of what Nespresso coffee capsules can transform into when you recycle.
Brew yourself a mindful cup of Nespresso coffee and check out some of our top reads on sustainability below.
The Books & Practices
At Booktopia, we have embedded robust sustainability measures in our everyday operations to help contribute to delivering meaningful and long-lasting environmental impacts. We believe it’s not just good business to deliver this; it’s everyone’s business.
For example, we take our packaging extremely seriously in terms of making sure it is sturdy enough to avoid damage to our customers’ books, but also ensuring it is put together in an environmentally sustainable way. We have phased out single-use plastic such as bubble wrap as part of our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint however and wherever we can.

Whether at home or the workplace, the Nespresso recycling canister is the ideal solution for storing used pods before you drop them off at any of Nespresso’s 19,000 Australian capsule recycling collection points.

Crafted from up to 30% coffee bean husks, this mug helps close the circle in the production process by cleverly repurposing the coffee bean husk, which would otherwise go to waste.
