#24That looks like a waste nightmare. > The only element not recyclable by municipal methods are the Packs themselves > Request a prepaid shipping label from by clicking the “Get Started” button below. We will then collect the Packs... https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/juicero
Isn't it though? On top of not only the waste you have the waste of shipping/transportation.
> Step One: Cut off the bottom section of the Pack and remove the pulp
> Step Two: Rinse the Pack.
> Step Three: Set the Pack aside until you’re ready to recycle.
> Step Four: MAIL THEM IN Request a prepaid shipping label from by clicking the “Get Started” button below.
At this point I'm better off not only saving money, packaging and associated shipping pitfalls but saving time by simply juicing everything myself at home and buying produce when I make my regular trips to the grocery store.

#28"Two investors in Juicero were surprised to learn the startup’s juice packs could be squeezed by hand without using its high-tech machine." This sounds almost comical...
I think that may be the best symbolic summary of the entire situation; indeed, ripe for satire.

#29This isn't a juicer as much as a juice dispenser.

Sounds like they're going to get squeezed out of the market...
