There was a concern over the non-recyclability of coffee Pods. The client wanted to come up with a new solution that would be environmentally friendly. This was not just any new development: it was a fundamental redesign that required significant resources. Our commitment to our clients made it imperative that we make this a reality.
Project Objectives
Our approached focused around developing an efficient and innovative design that would meet our objectives. We had to come up with new manufacturing technologies to succeed.
Challenges
We faced numerous challenges such as recyclability and performance which has to be solved in a way we had never done before. This project was a completely new development that required our very best engineers and creatives.
Solutions
This project has proudly paved the was for a greener future. It is the evolution of technologies where we can now "close the loop" and do good for the environment. Over 66 million pounds of plastic that would have gone to landfills can now be recycled. We can proudly say that 100% of K-Cup pods will be recyclable by 2020.
