Coffee pods, bulky rigids may lose 'check locally' label

"Big changes are brewing in the recycling world. How2Recycle is considering downgrading the recyclability of polypropylene coffee pods, HDPE trays, and bulky rigid plastics due to low acceptance rates. If finalized in July, this could shake up packaging strategies for major brands like Keurig Dr Pepper. But here’s the twist—paper-based packaging could gain a competitive edge. With fiber cartons retaining their 'widely recyclable' status, brands may pivot toward paper solutions to maintain sustainability claims. Could this be the moment paper packaging surges ahead? Stay tuned for more industry insights."https://resource-recycling.com/plastics/2025/02/05/coffee-pods-bulky-rigids-may-lose-check-locally-label/
