Coffee lovers appreciate the convenience of coffee pods but environmentally minded consumers don't like the waste that they generate, so Maxwell House is launching a 100% compostable coffee pod. The brand has always promised products that are "Good to the last drop" and now it is expanding what it's best known for with a new waste-reducing solution that promises to be "Good to the last drop. And long after."
The compostable coffee pods provide an alternative to the popular single-serve pods, as they are made entirely from plant-based materials. Notably, it's not just the pod that's eco-friendly, as the inner bag is compostable and the secondary packaging is 100% recyclable. Rather than discarding the pods in the trash, people can add them to a compost bin, since they're made with 85% coffee grounds.
