Save the Planet with Sustainable & Reusable Coffee Filters
Jun
The environmental impact of America’s caffeine addiction is quite shocking. 400 million cups of coffee are consumed each day in the US. Plus almost 25 percent of homes in America have a coffee pod coffee machine. This means that a quarter of the population in the United States are using coffee pods on a daily basis. If the coffee filters aren’t reusable, then we can assume that 82 million coffee pods are being discarded into the trash every single day.
This has a significant impact on the environment and is why many Americans are now trying to make their love for coffee more sustainable. From reusable coffee filters, eco friendly straws and sustainable coffee cups, let’s find out how you can transform the way you use your Keurig coffee machine. It’s your responsibility to help save the planet.
How Coffee Filters Are Damaging Mother Earth
If you’re not using reusable coffee filters or reusable k cups, you’re adding to the vast amount of garbage that the US produces. Keurig coffee makers are one of the most popular coffee machines in the US. However if you’re using single use coffee filters, you’re contributing to America’s huge waste problem. When you use a coffee filter and you throw it into the trash, this garbage will likely end up in a landfill. In fact, there are plenty of household items that are still single use, instead of reusable. So this is a big issue for the environment. It is our responsibility as humans to be more sustainable and understand how our actions impact the world around us. This also applies to how we enjoy our daily cup of coffee.
Humans Are Harming the Environment
Put simply, human beings are generating an absurd amount of trash. When trash is not biodegradable and cannot be effectively recycled we have a problem. Not only does it likely end up in landfills, but it can also easily seep into rivers and oceans, which can seriously harm wildlife and habitats. Sadly, when wildlife begins to suffer, this is the only time people take action. We need to wake up and begin to realise how damaging single use items are.
Single use plastic containers, knives, forks and spoons, along with single use coffee pods and coffee cups are among the worst contributors. Reusable coffee filters and sustainable kitchen accessories are much more eco friendly. They are also actually more affordable in the long run. So there is no reason why you can’t switch to reusable coffee filters right now.
Why You Should Use Reusable Coffee Filters
To minimise your personal impact on the environment, you can switch your single use coffee pods to reusable coffee filters. Change the way you shop online and be more eco friendly. This simple change is not only a step in the right direction when it comes to leading an eco friendly lifestyle, but it’s also more sustainable.
Here’s some reasons why you should switch to reusable coffee filters right now:
Minimalist lifestyle goals
If you enjoy a minimalist lifestyle, reusable items are far better. Unlike single use, you don’t need to order items constantly, which is basically giving in to mass consumerism. Also you can easily reduce your environmental impact by limiting the number of products you order online. Often packaging used to deliver orders across the US contributes to waste. So, by investing in reusable coffee filters you are reducing the amount of times you order products online. This therefore helps to make your purchases more eco friendly.
More affordable
By investing in reusable coffee filters and reusable k pods, you will actually save money in the long run. Most reusable items are more expensive to buy initially but as they can be reused, work out a far better financial investment and are eco friendly too! So really it’s a win, win.
Sustainable
To preserve nature, wildlife and the beautiful world we live in, we need to be moving towards a more sustainable way of life. Reusable coffee filters are one easy way that you can make your daily life more sustainable and eco friendly.
Design elements
More companies in the US are designing and creating beautiful reusable kitchenware and homeware. You’ll often find that reusable products such as reusable coffee filters, have actually been designed far better and with the customer in mind. This is to attract more people to switch from single use products to reusable items.

How to Make Your Caffeine Addiction Eco Friendly
Although it isn’t impossible to recycle disposable single use coffee cups, it’s far better to invest in reusable coffee filters, cups and accessories. These items have been specially designed to stand the test of time and withstand frequent washing. If you want to help save the planet, why not start by making your morning coffee more sustainable. This daily ritual can be transformed with little effort on your part.
Here are some simple ways to make your caffeine addiction more eco friendly:
Bamboo & Metal Coffee Straws
Food wrappers, containers and plastic straws contribute to around 30 percent of plastic pollution which can harm wildlife – both on land and in the ocean. If you enjoy an iced coffee, a latte or prefer to drink coffee through a straw to protect your teeth, switch to a reusable coffee straw. Usually made from bamboo or metal, these hard wearing reusable products are more sustainable and look pretty stylish too!
Reusable Coffee Cups
Next time you’re out and about and in need of a caffeine fix, make sure to be carrying a reusable coffee cup. Single use coffee cups are so harmful to the environment. Plus, a lot of well known coffee chains will actually give you a discount for using your own cup. Just make sure to mention this when ordering your next coffee.
