LINCROFT, New Jersey – The highschool students from High Technology High School in Lincroft, New Jersey, created a brand new freshman year final project in order to recycle coffee pods. The juniors created the Coffee Pod Recycler, a 3D printed device that separates the foil lid from the plastic cup of the coffee pod, as reported by the Two River Times.
The recycle project
The equipment are made of polylactic acid, a biodegradable material. The design includes a guide rail on the edge for easy cutting.
A pack of five Coffee Pod Recycler costs 9 dollars, so it makes sustainability accesible for everyone.
Now the three highschoolers desidere to expand their business since they want to make the project compatible with Nespresso coffee capsules as well.
