Cuts and separates used K-Cup® pods for recycling – See demonstration video below!

More and more of us are using convenient Keurig® brewers and K-Cup® pods to deliver our delicious morning brew. The truth is most people are not aware that those little pods are not recyclable when they are intact. Sadly, nearly 20 billion coffee pods end up in landfills every year, not decomposing.

Now, the reality is these pods CAN be recycled with the help of Recycle A Cup®. In just a few simple steps, you will be able to use the grinds as compost and recycle the rest of the pod…it’s just that simple

However, the cutter may not work with all brands due to small differences in pod sizes, materials and thicknesses. Please use the Recycle A Cup® cutter to get a feel for how it works with your favorite pod brand. For more information visit www.recycleacup.com.
