How Bad Are K-Cups for the Environment? Probably not that bad. The “My K-cups” with filters make very little waste. Amazon’s San Francisco Bay coffees are less than 30 cents each on Subscribe and Save and are partially biodegradable.
P.S. Are Starbucks lids biodegradable? I don’t hear people complaining about those. And even a full year of K-cups wouldn’t fill a single garbage bag. Not sure why this thing gets so much attention. We pay $10 or so a month to recycle and one week’s worth of that takes up less space than a year of K-Cups.

Neil says it well.
The K-cups that I throw away every week can fit in my hand. We aren’t talking the Exxon-Valdez spill here.
