America’s favorite drink just got tastier...well sorta! As if Starbucks needed another excuse to ring in the business, it is now unveiling its new seat upholstery made strictly of recycled coffee sacks! Talk about having a second chance at life!
In an effort to go green, Starbucks is pushing its new line of chairs that recycle, reuse, and reduce old, unloved and unwanted coffee sacks. However, the process of translating a regular, drab sack is more complicated than it seems. With their research spanning over eighteen months, one of the largest challenges the Starbucks chair engineers had to overcome was keeping the jute fibers from shedding which they accomplished by blending them with wool! Sheer genius!
When donating to other philanthropic causes isn't quite enough, Starbucks kicks their green program into another gear by offering our rears plush and comfortable support in addition to reducing waste atop our great globe. Now THAT leaves a good taste in our mouth! Have YOU helped save the world today?
