At the DC offices of RTCRM, we get our daily jolt of java from the fine Flavia brew machines. The only draw back of the Flavia machines was that the individual coffee packets created a fair amount of, what was thought to be, non-recyclable waste. However, after serious inquiry by RTCRM’s Green Task Force, a solution was found with Terracycle.
Terracycle makes affordable, eco-friendly products from a wide range of different non-recyclable waste materials, like the Flavia coffee packets. Their hope is to eliminate the idea of waste by finding innovative, unique uses for materials others deem garbage.
Terracycle, in association with Flavia, sent RTCRM two large, green and white recycling bins, in which we can deposit our Flavia package waste. When the bins are full, we simply send them off to Terracycle, where the packets will be used to make new products and prevent tons of waste from going to landfills.
