Sales person @ BBB said Vue-cups were paper and thus recyclable. Box information says they're recyclable where #5 plastics are allowed. What are they?

They are plastic with a foil top. The cup can be recycled with #5 plastics.

The cup says (sustainable forestry initiative) on the outside of the cup but I do not see a recycle symbol on the cup ?!?! So I'm not really sure....

Good Question, I checked into recycling at my last filter change, but truly I didn't recycle mine. I would have preferred to recycle, but after checking with my local recyclers decided to junk it. If anyone finds these can be recycled, Please put a post out so I can further pursue recycling. Hope this helps

On the bottom of the solo 5 oz kitchen cups there is no specific recycling number. Only thing there is a manufacturing code. SCC Y5 Patented 49

I doubt if they are recyclable. They are not soft like a baggy, but more stiff like a bag you might find a nice greeting card and envelope in. The top folds over and has a strip you remove that reveals a strip of invisible tape ( more or less invisible). I package matted, small artworks in them and like them a lot

Yes, but you have to buy a reusable vue cup, like this one: K2V-Cup Vue Cup.

I like the Vue, but sometimes it is hard to find the cups. That is why I purchased the refillable vue cup from Amazon.com

I have looked everywhere online and cannot locate the Refillable Cup for the Vue....wish I had purchased the K-Cup Keurig!

It depends on where you live. If you live in the United States you can take capsules to Nespresso boutiques or Sur La Table store for recycling. If you do not live near any of these establishments and if your local recycling accepts aluminum, you can use a knife to cut out the foil lid on used capsules, empty out the spent coffee grounds, and then put the empty capsules in with your recyclable metals (that's what I do).

Follow up to other response. Vue cups are only hard to find in stores, not on line.

The packaging is plastic material similar to that which you would buy nuts in. There is no indication on the packaging whether it is recyclable or not. Personally, I recycle most everything I can, this I would put in my recycling bin.

Here in Oregon they don't take plastic bags in the bi-weekly recycle collection. However, there's a recycle center nearby that takes them - all kinds of plastic bags - grocery, dept.store, etc. When the Suncast bin gets full, we dump them into a big black plastic bags and when that's full we take them to the recycling center. Apparently they sell them to China who recycle them. make things with them and then sell back to us! I don't know if your state handles things this way or not. We have a Recycling hotline and they told us about this. Check with yours, but we love this item. Good luck. Here in Oregon they don't take plastic bags in the bi-weekly recycle collection.

Unfortunately not. There is no recycle symbol on these plates so you cannot identify the type of plastic they are. The city where I live recycles only certain types of plastic (1,2,3,4,5, and 7) and including the wrong type to be recycled, the residents are informed, could ruin the entire batch.

Same answer as the other 2 so far. A hard plastic with no recycling number on them. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No just Vue , however, you can order them directly from Keurig and they have free shipping and a pretty good selection. Bed Bath and Beyond also sells the Vue cups.

They shouldn't. The recycle symbol on the bottom is a "5", which the internet seems to assure me is BPA-free.
