Hamburg becomes the first city to ban coffee pods
'They may not look like much, but coffee pods are a big problem. According to Science Alert, if you collected all the single-use coffee pods sold by market leader Keurig in a year and lined them up end-to-end, you’d have enough to circle the globe 12 times over. That’s a lot of waste, and to make matters even worse, these pods are extremely difficult to recycle because they are built from a mixture of plastic and aluminium – which most recycling plants can’t deal with. The city of Hamburg has taken a strong stance against coffee pods, banning them in all state-run buildings.'
