K cups are now fully recycled (as long as it’s opened/not sealed)
It was a massive problem. Keurig did their due diligence and took care of it, significantly.
I promise I’m not a shill. I worked for Keurig and quit my first day because I got yelled at for bleeding on the product when a kcup cut my finger. I don’t like Keurig. I don’t use kcups.
But your sentiment isn’t as valid as it once was. Theyve improved.
That’s good to hear that they took steps to make kcups recyclable. It’s a whole other conversation if plastic recycling isn’t pretty useless in of itself. I too don’t use kcups, hell I don’t even drink coffee. Thanks for the information!
They actually re-use the plastic? For more cups? As in, full cyclic product? That’s pretty damn cool!
I still think something like the systems from Philips (excuse the german) or CoffeeB that do not need plastic in the first place for their single-serving pods is superior, but it’s cool that plastic recycling can now do this instead of having to heavily push recycled plastic downstream to other use cases where less quality is needed.

Interesting, did not know this.

That has been their claim for a few years now, yeah.
