FCC Environment has partnered with Podback to launch an extensive coffee pod recycling program across household waste recycling centers (HWRCs) in England and Wales. This ambitious initiative aims to make coffee pod recycling accessible and convenient for residents, with initial rollouts planned for sites in Wigan and Luton within the month.
The rollout involves a comprehensive setup and support system managed by Podback. The company will work closely with each participating local authority to facilitate the launch of the recycling service. Publicity campaigns, informational materials, and community engagement will ensure the new service is well-promoted and understood.
Notably, unlike some recycling programs, which require unique bags or containers, Podback’s system allows residents to collect their used coffee pods at home.
