Eliminate Coffee Pod Waste


Love the efficiency of your facility's single-cup coffeemaker but hate the waste generated by all those leftover cups? Purchase a coffee pod recycling tool that allows you to easily separate the grounds from the recyclable pod without the effort and mess it takes to do it manually. Since purchasing the tool, we've been recycling 30 to 40 cups on a daily basis, which adds up to more than 9,000 annually. That's an incredible return on a purchase that cost less than $15.
