Compostable coffee pod company, Halo, have revealed a time-lapse video exposing a huge hidden waste mountain of used coffee pods.
The video shows the extend of the problem and how our caffeine habit is badly polluting our world.
The video also reveals that 80% of all coffee pods produced annually, which amounts to an astonishing figure of 48 billion pods, end up in landfill and oceans where they remain undegraded for up to 500 years (source: AMI Consulting).
Halo are a coffee SME based in a sustainable workspace in London. They are lead by Sarah Lim, a young sustainability pioneer with a knack for business.
This is an engaging and shocking video that would be perfect to share with other members of the sustainability industry.
