Company invests $10 million in Polypropylene Recycling Coalition
Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), Burlington, Mass., and Plano, Texas, announced that it has successfully achieved one of its long-standing sustainability commitments — all of the K-Cup pods the company produces are now recyclable.
The extensive effort involved converting more than 100 manufacturing lines to produce the pods now made from polypropylene No. 5 plastic. In addition, new packaging for the recyclable K-Cup pods features a green recyclable flag as well as the industry-respected How2Recycle label that clearly communicates recycling instructions to consumers.
