Keurig Green Mountain joins The Recycling Partnership
Keurig seeks 100 percent recyclability of its K-Cup pods
Falls Church, Va.-based The Recycling Partnership, and Waterbury, Vt.-based Keurig Green Mountain Inc. announced the companies have joined forces to impact recycling in the United States as both are committed to enacting system-wide solutions to the recycling challenges of today, work across materials and the supply chain to achieve a bright, sustainable recovery future, the companies say.
“At Keurig, we’re taking meaningful steps to transition to a recyclable K-Cup pod well before our 2020 goal of having 100 percent of our pods be recyclable,” said Monique Oxender, chief sustainability officer at Keurig, in a statement. “We’re also working beyond our product packaging to address challenges related to all small-item recovery in the recycling infrastructure and to improve end-market demand for reclaimed materials. These efforts take cross-industry collaboration. The transformative work of The Recycling Partnership is a perfect match for our ambitions.”
