During a recent industry meeting, members from Keurig Dr Pepper outlined their efforts in ensuring that their products have a lasting positive impact on the Earth and its inhabitants. The initiative dubbed Drink Well. Do Good. focuses on four key areas: environment, supply chain, health and wellbeing, and communities.
In their presentation, KDP laid out their goals for creating less packaging waste, which includes converting to 100% recyclable material or compostable packaging by the year 2025. They also plan to obtain 100% of electricity from renewable sources in that same timeframe. In December, KDP announced that they have already achieved their goal of making all K-Cup pods recyclable by the end of 2020.
