Our Company's Inspiration

Think of that one person in your life who has inspired you the most. This could be a parent, grandparent, or close friend. For our founders, it is Ms. Linda Grunthaner of High Technology High School (or Ms. G for short). Back in our founders' freshman year of high school, Ms. G proposed a problem: people who loved to use Keurig Cups had no effective way of recycling the entire coffee pod. This was due to a variety of factors. First, the residual coffee grounds needed to be removed. Second, none of our competition effectively and inexpensively recycled the whole coffee pod (now we do that, so no need to worry 😉). When our founders submitted their solution as a project, Ms. G encouraged them to take it further. It is because of her that the CPRC's product is now patent-pending. And it is in a large part due to her enthusiasm that the CPRC thrives today. She truly defines what it means to be an innovator, engineer, and thinker. So, on behalf of the entire company, thank you Ms. G!
