Tassimo by Bosch and TDISCs by Kraft are gladly a new addition to the single serve coffee manufacturers stepping up to take a bigger part in environmental sustainability. Tassimo by Bosch is now participating in TerraCycle. Recently, we divulged one of Flavia Coffee’s “green” initiatives by featuring their participation in Upcycling their fresh brew packs. Now, we can add Tassimo to the list of contenders for responsible single serve coffee manufacturers.
If you are a user of the Tassimo Hot Beverage System by Bosch, then you certainly know the pangs of throwing away so much waste incurred by used TDISCs. In order to participate in the program, the end consumer needs to spot a small fee to receive a TDISC/Terracycle disposal box, in which the used TDISCs as well as the foil packaging the TDISC boxes come in are Upcycled into products. Currently, this Tassimo single serve coffee Upcycle program is only recognized in the UK. But, we have faith that it will be sooner rather than later we will see Tassimo and Terracycle pair up in the United States as well. Here’s hoping!
