COMPARE COMPOSTABLE
TO RECYCLABLE PODS

VERY FEW CONSUMERS HAVE EASY ACCESS TO RECYCLING PROGRAMS THAT WORK FOR PLASTIC PODS

Recycling is usually not convenient.
Consumers usually have to:
Cut the lid off the pod
- Then –
Put the hot coffee grounds into a
composting container
- Then –
Wash out the rest of the pod
- Then –
Throw the rest of the pod into a
recycling container

Single serve pods containing a mix of plastics and other substancesmake them non-recyclable.
Those pods will take centuries to break down in landfills.

Recycling facilities often send small plastic items like pods straight to landfill because they are too small to process

Changing The Industry

"Club Coffee is the first manufacturer to earn BPI certification for single-serve pods. Diverting products associated with food residuals away from disposal is complicated, and BPI certification is a critical piece of the process, ensuring that items will break down in a timely manner in the appropriate composting environment, and not have a negative impact on the quality of the finished compost."
