The NEXE Pod

Which Keurig Machines do NEXE Pods work with?
NEXE Pods work best with K-Compact and K-Express brewers.

What are your compostable pods made of?
The NEXE pod is made using plant-based materials that break down completely in industrial composting facilities. The pod is made from a combination of plant fibre, compostable polymers, and other compostable materials.

What is the difference between ‘biodegradable’ and ‘compostable’?
Biodegradation is the breakdown of materials by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Composting occurs when humans create a special environment for biodegradation to take place.

How should I dispose of my NEXE pods?
The NEXE pod can be disposed of in the green bin, where municipalities accept compostable packaging. The entire pod is compostable – no need to separate the lid, cup, or coffee.

Can I dispose of NEXE pods in my backyard compost?
NEXE pods should be handled by your municipal composting facility to ensure they break down completely. NEXE encourages backyard composting and will soon release information on how to build a true DIY compost.

What is the difference between municipal composting and backyard composting?
Municipal composting facilities use higher temperatures to ensure that organic waste breaks down more quickly and completely than a backyard composting pile. In some facilities, the compost can even be used to generate renewable natural gas.

Have NEXE pods been tested in a municipal composting facility?
The NEXE pod was developed and tested in collaboration with the Municipal Biofuels Facility in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, which processes more than 115,000 tonnes of organic waste annually.

Will the compost soil from the breakdown of the NEXE pod contain toxic byproducts?
The NEXE pod breaks down to non-toxic materials, leaving no micro-plastics behind. A six-month independent study found no impact on the growth of vegetables in soil mixed with compost from the NEXE pod.

Are NEXE pods better than conventional plastic pods?
Conventional coffee pods are made from non-compostable materials that remain in the landfill for 500 years or longer.

Are compostable pods a good solution to the single-use plastics issue?
Composting is a sustainable alternative to single-use plastics that reduces the impact of plastic on our environment.
