JAB (from "Joh A Benckiser") is a privately-held German conglomerate that owns companies operating in the consumer goods, forestry, coffee, luxury fashion and fast food arenas, amongst others. It is 90% owned by Germany's Reimann family,ref and headquartered in Luxembourg.ref, ref, ref.

JAB is not a typical investment vehicle. Rather than just taking large stakes in big companies, or flipping businesses for a profit, the firm tends to buy companies or brands in their entirety and run them. Instead of investment managers, it is led by 3 CEOs.ref

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc

The Keurig system centres around "K-pods", a 4-layer sandwich of specialised plastic #5 topped with 100% non-recyclable plastic foil. Inventor John Sylvan has divested his shares in Keurig Green Mountain, expressing regret for his idea. Despite Keurig's "recycling initiative", Sylvan says "no matter what they say, those things will never be recyclable".ref

Fast Facts

  • The profit margin on K-Cups is extraordinary: the 11 grams of coffee in K-Cups costs ~$40 per lb -vs- $4 per lb for (eg.) Folger's, or even $11 per lb for the really fancy stuff.
  • The cups are technically recyclable if you separate all the layers (with difficulty), rinse everything; then recycle the parts separately.ref Seriously? So not going to happen; just because something is recyclable, doesn't mean it will be. Hamburg banned pods from state-run buildings;ref many others have since followed suit.
  • Newer Keurig machines will not accept reusable Ekobrew pods; that's not an accident, it's digital rights management for coffee machines.
  • Keurig Green Mountain is very secretive about how many K-Cups it sells each year; best estimates say the 13 billion buried in landfill in 2014 would circle the Earth ~12 times.ref
  • K-Cups have far higher energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions than brewing coffee the old-fashioned way.
  • Taxpayers (you and I) pay for refuse disposal, street cleanups, landfill costs, and environmental damage, not tax-haven company Keurig. Add those costs onto the price of an oh-so-convenient K-Cup.
