Bio-based materials in the PURPOD100\u2122 will break down and turn into soil in less than six months. That\u2019s great news for coffee drinkers, and even better news for the environment.<\/p>\n<h3>9.8** billion K-Cups\u00ae* were sold in 2014 \u2013 enough to circle the Earth 12 times.<\/h3>\n<p>With composting, we will reduce the amount of plastic in our waste stream and improve the soil at the same time.<\/p>\n<h3>What makes composting the right solution?<\/h3>\n<h3>Composting<\/h3>\n<p>Certified 100% compostable products have gone through rigorous testing that proves they break down efficiently. They have the additional benefit of returning valuable nutrients, such as the nitrogen found in coffee grounds, into the soil. Our PURPOD100\u2122 can be composted with other household items such as paper egg cartons, food scraps, newspaper, and lawn clippings.<\/p>\n<h3>Recycling<\/h3>\n<p>While single-serve plastic cups are technically recyclable, the reality is far different. Each individual plastic cup of spent coffee grounds must be carefully separated and cleaned before disposal into different recycling bins, which makes using plastic cups decidedly less convenient. Even when consumers take such extreme measures, most facilities can\u2019t separate the small plastic cups from the rest of their materials, so they end up in the landfill anyway.<\/p>\n<h3>Biodegrading<\/h3>\n<p>So-called \u201cbiodegradable\u201d solutions are not subject to any sort of standard testing or certification. Most often, these products end up in the landfill where degradation is a very slow process, sometimes taking centuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soon, your customers will be able to enjoy the great taste and convenience of single-serve coffee without worrying about the environmental impact.
