A product was given for review for my honest opinion.
However, there has always been one thing that bothers me....where do all those little K-Cups go in the landfill?? Check out these sad stats below:
The Truth about Single Serve is that it is a growing and significant environmental concern. Just look at the numbers:
- 16 million US households own a single serve brewer
- 13% of the US population drank a cup of coffee made in a single serve brewer yesterday
- That equates to 41 million used single serve cups everyday
- 9.6 billion cups every year
- 2.8 billion cubic feet of waste in our landfills every year
Like me and many of you, my earth-conscious readers, they were bothered by the waste generated by tons of used single-serve coffee cartridges entering landfills each year, even though they loved the convenience and variety of using a single-serve coffee machine. So they created this tool that allows you to separate the components of the cups, so that they can be re-used, recycled, and even composted.
Check out how it works:
The Recycle A Cup is such a simple and easy solution to eliminate extra waste in our environment and it gives me peace of mind every time I use my Keurig and K-Cups! I now can enjoy my favorite drinks and then recycle the K-Cups easily!
Check out how EASY it is to do!
Step 1: Load
- Wait for your used K-Cup® to cool.
- Place used cup into Holder. Align puncture hole at bottom of the cup with Alignment Pin.
- Place Lid onto Holder. Do Not press the Cartridge Buttons at this stage. Instead twist lid ¼ twist to set for cutting.
Step 2: Twist
- Press both Cartridge Buttons to puncture the cup.
- Keep Buttons pressed and turn Lid 1 time completely around the cup.
Step 3: Separate
- Release both Buttons.
- Remove Lid and upper part of the cup.
- Push finger into hole at bottom of Holder to remove the plastic body.
Recycle & Compost
- Recycle or reuse the plastic cup.
- Recycle the aluminum top.
- Compost the paper and coffee grinds.
- Even if you throw out the top with the coffee grinds attached, the coffee grinds can now decompose vs. being trapped in the plastic and you are still making a nice environmental contribution.
- Tell all your friends about Recycle A Cup™ so that each small contribution can add up and have a significant impact.
This clever new device really does solve a major problem --- a zillion wasteful used coffee cartridges such as K-Cups that end up going in your trash, and ultimately filling up landfills with unnecessary waste. Now you and I will be able to recycle, re-use, and compost the majority of the components of your used K-Cup® cartridges, instead of throwing them away! This is definitely a must for all Keurig and K-Cup users!
