Keurig coffee pods are made of polypropylene plastic, a material that experts warn is not as recyclable as consumers have been led to think.
Cambio Roasters , which launched in September , offers a coffee pod that's made out of aluminum.
Experts aren't sure that Cambio understands just how big of a problem K-cups pose to curbside recycling systems.
Cambio coffee pods are designed to work with Keurig models.
Nespresso pods are only approved for curbside recycling in New York City and Jersey City .
Experts say small K-cup pods are hard to recycle because of their size.
Cambio is developing a device that will make stacking and pinching of used pods easier.
As the market for single-serve coffee brewers grows, so will its impact on the environment.
Keurigs and Nespresso machines are marketed as both convenient and luxurious.
But eco-conscious coffee brewers can rest easy in the knowledge that you donât need a Keurig to brew one cup of coffee.
