Coffee Pods
Australians use 3 million Coffee Pods a DAY !!- that's over a Billion a year They take 500 years to degrade in landfill . The Good news is, there are now Reusable Coffee Pods, so you can have your coffee Guilt Free. You can also get package free coffee in the hills.( see below). TerraCycle recycle some coffee pod brands, but we really encourage you to give up the single use pod. Recycling still takes a lot of energy transporting and processing.
