Yes — Peet’s K-Cup® pods are made from recyclable polypropylene (#5 plastic), the same material used in everyday items like yogurt containers and butter tubs.
However, recycling availability varies by location. While polypropylene is widely accepted in curbside recycling programs across North America, not all facilities that accept #5 plastic will process K-Cup® pods.
Before recycling your pods:
- Check with your local recycling provider to confirm they accept K-Cup® pods.
- Prepare the pods properly by removing the foil lid and composting or discarding the used coffee grounds.
