NOTICE BY KEURIG CANADA INC. REGARDING RECYCLABILITY OF K‑CUP® PODS

Keurig® K‑Cup® pods may not be recyclable in your area. Please check with your local municipality to find out how you should properly dispose of K‑Cup® pods.

Keurig Canada has reached a settlement with the Competition Bureau Canada to resolve the Bureau’s concerns under the deceptive marketing practices provisions of the Competition Act about Keurig Canada’s claims about the recyclability of Keurig® K‑Cup® pods. The Competition Bureau concluded that the claims create the impression that the pods can be recycled in each municipality where the claims are made. However, the K‑Cup® pods are not widely recycled in municipal recycling programs outside of British Columbia and Quebec.

As part of the settlement, Keurig Canada has agreed to make changes to the packaging of K‑Cup® pods and brewers as well as its advertisements going forward. Canadian consumers need to be aware that K‑Cup® pods are only recyclable in select locations and are therefore encouraged to check with their local program to find out if the K‑Cup® pods are recyclable, and if they are, then how to recycle them.

Additional information about the settlement with the Competition Bureau Canada is available to the public at https://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/home.

As part of the settlement, Keurig Canada has also agreed to pay an administrative monetary penalty and make a donation to an environmental charity.
