Biodegradable coffee cup that grows flowers and trees when thrown away!

World’s first biodegradable coffee cup that grows flowers and trees when thrown away!



Sure, you’ve seen biodegradable cups, but have you seen disposable coffee cups embedded with tree and flowering seeds? A California-based business called Reduce. Reuse. Grow. partnered with designer Alex Henige to create a biodegradable coffee cup embedded with planting seeds, and a local map of the best places to plant the cup when you are done drinking.

In America more than 146 billion cups have been discarded annually from drinking coffee. Even when the cups are being recycled, the paper products “can only be reused two to three times before the fibers are unusable and discarded into local landfills without consumers knowing.” 

This ingenious idea is simple and can be a pleasant experience for the consumer. Not only that, but it will help the environment as well!
