CAPSOPENER by Equipe2 srl

The company, Start-Up established in April 2021, relies on the many years of experience acquired in the working field by the 2 partners: Lorenzo and Luca. "On several occasions we discussed together on various issues. Since 2020, we have thought about transforming our considerations into something concrete: we are committed to finding and implementing solutions to be able to effectively address these problems and needs. We started working on various projects, including some for other companies, with consulting, study, research and development, design and prototyping, coordination activities. Among these, the project of the new CAPSOPENER device, the current core business". CAPSOPENER is the new device for opening and emptying Nespresso® and compatible coffee capsules, both in Aluminum and Plastic. The CAPSOPENER product is an innovative device due to its functionality and ease of use: it allows consumers of coffee capsules to be able to dispose and recycle separately the coffee and the various materials of which the capsules are made, which otherwise, if not disposed of in the appropriate collection points, should be thrown in the generl/undifferentiated waste. Currently, the CAPSOPENER device has been designed to open and empty the coffee capsules of the Nespresso® model and compatible, as this is the most widespread system on the market today. Future developments will be to modify the device, as already foreseen by the patent, in order to be used also with the other models of capsules on the market. Waste management according to a sustainable model is a responsibility towards the territory and the community. For this reason, and for many other projects under development, we believe and focus on sustainability not only as a “duty” but also as a competitive and reputational positioning strategy.
