The beverage brand has agreed to a $10 million settlement following a 2018 lawsuit claiming its K-Cup pods weren’t recyclable, even though they claimed to be. Apparently, many recycling companies wouldn’t accept the empty used pods because they were too small and often, dirty and extremely difficult to clean. In addition to supplying customers with monetary compensation, part of the settlement includes the brand updating recycling information on its packaging to more accurately display the circumstances of use. To qualify, you must have purchased K-Cups between June 2016 and August 2022. Anyone who submits a claim could receive $5 to $36.
