For the Love of Coffee Today and Tomorrow

We Love Coffee

It’s what we do. That’s why we are committed to responsibly sourced coffee1, why we are making more brewers with recycled plastic, and why 100% of our K-Cup® pods are made from polypropylene. K-Cup® pods are recyclable in select locations, but may not be recycled in your area. Please check with your local recycling facility for updated information. Our love of coffee is why we’re committed to help sustain the communities involved in growing, harvesting and distributing the coffee you love.

We do it for people who love our planet, and our coffee, as much as we do – so we all can enjoy it for generations to come.

1We rely on credible third-party certifications like Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, and Utz. During 2021, COVID-19 impacts and shipping delays resulted in a very small amount of conventional coffee deliveries (0.38%).

A Commitment to the Cup

From our efforts towards increased circularity and improved manufacturing practices, to supporting coffee farming communities, we’re passionate about working towards protecting the future of coffee and have set ambitious goals and commitments:

Responsible sourcing
In 2024, 100% of our coffee was responsibly sourced1
Reducing waste
100% of our K-Cup® pods are made from polypropylene. K-Cup® pods are recyclable in select locations, but may not be recycled in your area. Please check with your local recycling facility for updated information.
Clean energy
100% of electricity used in our coffee manufacturing facilities comes from renewable sources.

1 In 2024, 0.32% of coffee was received as conventional due to irregular rain patterns delaying the crop in Uganda and logistical challenges resulting from the unavailability of the Suez Canal as a transportation route. Both of these challenges required us to purchase green coffee from the spot market to meet our demand, and there were not suitable responsibly sourced options available.

2025 Goals
Reducing waste
We’re committed to 100% of our product packaging to be made from materials that can be recycled or composted, and aim for zero waste to be sent to landfills across our manufacturing facilities.
2030 Goals
OUR IMPACT ON RESILIENT GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
We are committed to supporting conservation and regenerative agriculture on 250,000 acres of farmland, much of it used for coffee growing.

To help more of our pods get recycled, we’ve improved packaging, invested in recycling testing, and helped strengthen the recycling infrastructure.

Revitalizing Coffee Communities

Sumatran Seedling Program
Café Selva Norte Project
Improving co-op governance and technical assistance for farmers in Peru
KDP Canada is supporting the strengthening and expansion of ECOTIERRA’s Café Selva Norte Project in Peru, with activities focused on improving governance and technical assistance, which are crucial to ensure that the project’s benefits will be sustained. More specifically, the project aims to provide management training within co-ops and support producers in maximizing their return on investments, in order to increase their incomes and improve the quality of life for their families. The technical assistance provided includes training on agroforestry management activities to maximize the productivity and quality of coffee, such as pruning, fertilization, harvesting, fermentation and drying.
Sustainable Coffee Project
Sustainable Coffee Project
Transforming rural coffee communities
In collaboration with Root Capital, Keurig launched the Partnership for Sustainable Coffee. With support from Feed the Future, the US Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, by the end of 2020, the project had reached 183 farmer businesses with lending and advisory services, supporting sustainable livelihoods for 330,000 smallholder coffee farmers and their families.

Something New is on The Horizon.

We are reimagining single serve from the ground up. K-Rounds™ pods will be created from expertly roasted coffee beans, ground, pressed, and wrapped in a protective plant-based coating, preserving the coffee’s flavor and aroma. K-Rounds™ will work exclusively with the new Keurig Alta™ system and can be disposed of like any other coffee grounds for a coffee experience you will feel great about.

Single-serve Sustainability

We’re working to explore ways to support a sustainable future, and our current development priorities are on a continuous pathway towards greater circularity. We’re also working to expand EASY-PEEL lids to make the preparation for recycling more convenient. The My K‑Cup® Universal Reusable filter is another great way to brew the perfect cup.
