LG's New Instant Coffee Machine Mixes Two Pods, Generates Twice the Trash, and its Nasa-inspired design looks like the Apollo lunar lander is relieving itself in your coffee cup. (gizmodo.com)

I hate typing this because it gives Nestle the slightest shred of credit. Their pods are aluminum and recyclable. Keurig k-cups started off as non-recyclable plastic but have now switched to some kind of, apparently, recyclable plastic...supposedly. Doesn't make the use of pods much better but it's not nothing.

Aren’t you supposed to rip off the top, empty out the coffee into your compost/garbage, and then recycle the pod? Or you can drop them off at a store where they sit for a couple day until the coffee starts to rot and the whole thing gets shipped to Nespresso where they probably throw it in a a landfill.

The aluminum cups can simply be melted down. The used coffee grounds will simply burn off in the process.
