Despite claims by Keurig, a redesign of its plastic K-Cup products did not make them suitable for all curbside recycling.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said Tuesday that it has charged Keurig Dr Pepper with making inaccurate statements about the recyclability of its K-Cup pods.

Keurig, the company behind the popular home brewing and single-serving coffee maker systems, will pay the SEC a $1.5 million civil penalty after it failed to disclose concerns from two major recycling companies about the K-Cup pods in its annual reports.

Keurig Dr Pepper agreed to a settlement with federal regulators Tuesday, after being charged in a civil case with misleading investors about the recyclability of its K-cups.

Keurig Dr Pepper, based in Burlington, Massachusetts, said in an emailed statement that it was glad to resolve the matter.
