In America alone, 400 million cups of coffee are consumed each day! You are right when you think about the volume of waste paper cups and get frightened about the amount of pollution they create! But, fear not, a Californian company has a creative idea for you regarding upcycling the waste coffee cups.

The company Reduce, Reuse, Grow is an environment friendly company who is coming out with biodegradable cups which is supposed to degrade within six months.

Hold on! We know that there is nothing new in this idea but this company has taken the upcycling to a whole new level. The disposable paper cups, which you throw away, eventually grow into trees or native flowers.

Not only that, you have two options in this regard. You may plant the cup yourself or put it inside a special bin outside the associated coffee shops. This organization will get those collected and distribute them to different communities who need seeds for reforestation.

Being environment friendly, this organization also takes initiative to place seeds native to the region where coffee cups are being used. Like, in California, you get coffee cups with seeds of poppy flowers and redwood trees.
