A Recyclable K-Cup Helps to Reduce the Massive Waste Produce by the Brand
It's no secret now that Keurig has developed a product that makes quite the negative impact on the environment, yet the brand has just released a line of recyclable K-Cups that will hopefully make a difference -- or at least pave the way to making a difference.

Of course, this solution still isn't ideal according to Darby Hoover from the Natural Resources Defense Council, "The production of each one of these coffee pods requires energy, materials, chemicals, water, [and] transportation." Nevertheless, what the recyclable K-Cups do show is an attempt to right a wrong.
