CHARLESTON, South Carolina, USA – Cambio Roasters is raising the bar on sustainable coffee. The brand known for turning everyday coffee moments into sustainability wins is making new strides in tackling plastic waste on both land and sea with new initiatives they are spearheading with its partner organizations: TerraCycle and 4Ocean.
Beyond their creation of the world’s first Keurig®-compatible aluminum pod, Cambio Roasters continues to make coffee consumption easier for all so that everyone can sip sustainably, recycle effortlessly and restore the planet with every cup of joe.
With TerraCycle, Cambio Roasters is reshaping the future of coffee pod sustainability. Through the Cambio Roasters Free Recycling Program, anyone can recycle used aluminum pods for free—no matter what their local curbside recycling service accepts, ensuring their aluminum pods are kept out of landfills and incinerators.
Now, the company is extending its impact even further—by taking steps with 4Ocean to actively remove plastic waste from the world’s oceans.
“At Cambio Roasters, we believe that great coffee should never come at the expense of the planet,” said Cambio Roasters co-founder, Ann Huston. “By partnering with TerraCycle, we’re making it easy to recycle our pods. And with 4Ocean, we’re taking it one step further—cleaning up plastic that’s already polluting our oceans. Every sip matters. Every pod counts. And now, every purchase is helping to create a cleaner, healthier planet.”
How It Works: Two Ways to Make a Difference
- Brew. Recycle. Repeat. The Cambio Roasters Free Recycling Program, offered in partnership with TerraCycle, makes it easy to recycle used aluminum pods and reduce waste. Just collect your spent Cambio pods in any box, then download a prepaid shipping label from the TerraCycle website and send them in. Once received, TerraCycle separates the materials, recycling the aluminum so it can be used to make new products, and sending the coffee grounds for industrial composting.
- Through its partnership with 4Ocean, Cambio Roasters is actively removing plastic waste—one pound at a time. For every $40 purchase on CambioRoasters.com, one pound of plastic is extracted from oceans and rivers worldwide. Customers receive a unique Ecodrive Impact ID, allowing them to track their plastic removal journey from water to recycling plant in real time—making every cup of Cambio coffee part of the solution.
