[quote=Anonymous]The manufacturing requirements of the K-Cup® pack currently make recycling difficult. The K-Cup® pack is made up of three main elements: the cup itself, a filter and an aluminum foil top. The pack's components prevent oxygen, light and moisture from degrading the coffee. Without the barrier the packaging materials provide, we could not maintain quality or freshness. However, we are actively working to meet the challenge of creating a pack that reduces environmental impact and continues to deliver an extraordinary cup of coffee.

[b]The K-Cup® and Vue® brewing systems operate differently and therefore have different requirements for materials. The current plastic used in our Vue® pack cups can be recycled wherever polypropylene/#5 plastic is accepted. Today, about half of communities in the United States accept #5 plastic for recycling, and that number is increasing. The Vue® brewing system is an incremental step on our journey to reduce the environmental impact of our products and allows for future improvements as material science evolves.
