Why do we falsely claim their pods are plastic? Their competitors use plastic and receive no criticism. They do aluminum and a bag drop program and are trashed
If you're looking for someone to say "Fuck Keurig too" I'm happy to oblige. We're saying there's no need to create these pods at all when regular coffee brewing doesn't produce this kind of waste. 95% of pods don't get recycled, that deserves some criticism.
I admit I did not do research before posting, my bad. Was not aware they are made from aluminum.
But it is still nonsense to create packaging for every 5 grams of product made.
At least locally Kcups from Kurig are much more common - 100% plastic. I always thought of the nespresso ones with the recycling bags as more enviro friendly.
But I also thought Apple with its long support lifetimes for products and good resale values was probably better for environment than the android junk with uncertain supply chains, but HN regularly has stories trashing apple has terrible for environment and never says anything about android so who knows.
