Collection: ONECUP™ COFFEE PODS

Single-serve coffee pods are convenient, however most are made of petroleum-based plastic that adds to the growing problem of plastic waste in landfills. Because of our commitment to sustainability, we decided to invest in finding a better option. So, we launched our OneCUP™ coffee pods, which are made from plant-based commercially compostable materials. Visit our compostable FAQ page for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

The compostable coffee pods are just like any other single-serve coffee pods, with one major exception - they are made from a plant-based material and are commercially compostable! Because of that, our OneCUP™ compostable coffee pods help reduce plastic landfill waste since they breakdown with the right balance of heat, moisture, and oxygen in commercial composting facilities. 

Yes! Our pods are made of paper, fiber, tree materials, and plant-based resources like seeds, cassava, and sugar cane. They are BPI® certified compostable in an industrial composting facility which means they achieve 90% breakdown within 84 days or less in industrial composting conditions. 

Compostable coffee pods should not go in food waste. They require a commercial/industrial composting facility for breakdown and will not appropriately degrade in a home compost pile. If you do not have a commercial composting facility in your area, please dispose of the pods in the garbage. 

The best way to dispose of compostable coffee pods is to compost them at a commercial/industrial composting facility. Visit www.FindAComposter.com or contact your local composting facility to confirm they accept BPI-certified materials.
