Following KDP's conversion of its coffee pods to polypropylene, a sought-after plastic for recycled materials, the companies worked together to equip AMP's robotics systems to properly identify and sort K-Cup pods in recycling facilities. All of the K-Cup pods KDP produces are now recyclable. Monique Oxender, chief sustainability officer, Keurig Dr Pepper, explained, "Our move to recyclable plastic is a critical first step, but to make greater strides toward circularity, we need to improve acceptance and sortation so we can more readily incorporate recycled plastic back into our products and packaging. Recycling systems in the U.S. are diverse, and we need technology and infrastructure upgrades to improve the quality and quantity of recycled plastic available." AMP provides technology to help with this multifaceted challenge.
