Your Morning Coffee is Going Guilt-Free

#ad

[Keep reading for the contest!]

Great news for single-serve coffee fans. By the end of 2018, all of the Keurig® K-Cup® pods sold in Canada will be recyclable.

coffee, recyclable k-cups, can you recycle k-cups?, are keurig pods recyclable?, socialdad, contest, dad blog, coffee blog, blogs about coffee, vancouver bloggers, men bloggers, guys who blog, vancouver dad blog, vancouver parenting bloggers, best bloggers in vancouver, top dad bloggers in canada, — I like coffee. A lot.

I love my Keurig coffee maker, partly because it’s quick and convenient, but mainly because of the consistent taste that comes with having a pre-packaged serving ready for me to pop in, close the lid, press the button, and then drink.

When looking at its entire life cycle, the pods also use less coffee and water than traditional drip coffee. In your Keurig machine, the hot water is squeezed through the coffee to get the most flavour from the coffee grounds.

Great coffee isn’t enough though. Keurig has been working toward some lofty goals to be more environmentally conscious, by partnering with recyclers, including Recycle BC, across North America for the past three years.

Their mission was to ensure that the pods can easily travel from recycling bins at homes to recovery facilities to a useful second life.

The coffee pods are made of plastic #5, which is widely accepted in municipal recycling programs in Canada.

You can recycle your K-Cup® pods in three simple steps: let it cool and peel off the foil lid, compost the coffee grounds, and recycle the #5 plastic cup, alongside other recyclable containers in your recycling bin at home.

We need to take care of our planet starting NOW not only for us but especially for our future generation. We have somewhat abused mother nature and that is why global warming is happening now. In our own little way we need to do our part and one is recycling. It ia VERY important because it helps save our environment it allows us not to waste anything and reuse things and that helps mother nature. It lessen waste that our not biodegradable.

We aren’t set up to find a new planet to live on just yet. As long as we are here, drinking coffee, the least we should do is protect the environment so it can sustain us and our coffee! Recyclable pods are long overdue and I’m really exited!

I would love to win this! The environment is a wonderful place that people take for granted in the smallest ways. This past year I have cut straws out of my life completely since they take so long to decompose! I do many other things to help and do my part, but that little way is an important step in saving the planet!
