ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Group pushes to ban single-serve coffee systems from LMU

TerraCycle Include USA zero waste box
Faculty and staff argue that single-serve coffee systems go against LMU’s campus wide goal of sustainability. Faculty and staff at LMU are pushing the University to ban single-serve coffee systems such as Keurig and Nespresso. Other recycling programs like TerraCycle’s Waste Box can cost $70 to $118, and the process of burning the returned cups for fuel is not an ideal solution, according to NPR. Keurig does not currently offer a recycling for individual Keurig use.
