German city bans coffee pods

<p>If you’re a Nespresso fan and you ever find yourself in Hamburg you might have to find an alternate way to get your caffeine fix, after the German city announced it would be enforcing a ban on all coffee pods in government-run buildings.</p> <p>The announcement was made by Hamburg’s Department of the Environment and Energy last week. Jan Dube, a representative, said, “These portion packs cause unnecessary resource consumption and waste generation, and often contain polluting aluminium.”</p> <p>“For every six grams of coffee, each pod has three grams of packaging on average.”</p> <p>Coffee pods have significantly grown in popularity over the years and while many of the companies that manufacture them prides themselves on using recyclable materials, the pods are seldom recycled properly and are increasingly finding their way into landfills. </p> <p>Hamburg senator Jens Kerstand told CNN Money he hopes to make a positive difference, “The city can help ensure that environmentally harmful products are purchased less frequently and that sustainable products achieve even greater acceptance in the market. Our objective is to increase the share of environmentally friendly products significantly in order to help combat climate change.”</p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/news/news/2016/02/foul-mouthed-cockatoo-cage/"><strong>Foul-mouthed cockatoo doesn’t want to go back to her cage</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/news/news/2016/02/amazing-photos-of-aurora-borealis-resembling-a-phoenix/"><strong>Amazing photos of Aurora Borealis resembling a phoenix</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/news/news/2016/02/90-year-old-skips-cancer-treatment-to-travel/"><strong>90-year-old forgoes cancer treatment to travel</strong></a></em></span></p>
