- This is the real problem
- How can you as a company get the internal YES on scaled initiatives like this? Example: Why did P&G, Pepsico Why? Walmart effect Sometimes it needs to be big enough Focus Clear financial return
- Purpose: Support Keurig in meeting its goal of 100% recyclability for K-Cups in 2020 Scope: Conduct testing in 3 Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) to learn how various cups/formats would flow in current MRF sorting equipment Desired Outcomes: Inform design, material selection, marketing, labeling, and other decisions that influence recyclability Identify points of inquiry and possible intervention in the recycling industry that could enable K-Cup recycling
