SEOUL, Oct. 13 (Korea Bizwire)Starbucks Coffee Korea said Wednesday it had released a series of flower pots made from upcycled coffee grounds.

Upcycling refers to a process that goes beyond simple recycling of waste to add eco-friendly design and utility to create a whole new product.

A single flower pot is made from coffee grounds generated from brewing six cups of tall-sized Americano.

The flower pot kit consists of a pot, culture soil mixed with coffee grounds and herb seeds.
