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

The agency said Keurig, in its financial filings, had claimed its pods could be “effectively recycled” but didn’t note that two big recycling companies wouldn’t accept them.

Keurig Dr Pepper agreed to a $1.5 million civil penalty but neither admitted or denied allegations it made inaccurate statements regarding its K-Cup pods.
