Keurig made “inaccurate statements” about the recyclability of its single-use coffee pods, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company agreed to a cease and desist order and to pay a $1.5 million civil penalty to settle the charges.

The agency said Keurig, in its financial filings, had claimed its pods could be “effectively recycled” but didn’t note that two big recycling companies wouldn’t accept them.

Keurig agreed to pay $1.5 million in penalties — without admitting guilt or denying the SEC's findings that the K-Cup pod producer made inaccurate claims regarding the recyclability of those pods.
