Starbucks Korea vows to recycle all coffee grounds by 2027

Coffee grounds were reclassified as recirculation resources last March.

American multinational coffehouse giant Starbucks has expressed plans to recycle 100% of its coffee grounds in South Korea by 2027, Korea Bizwire reported.

Starbucks plans to conduct a recycling environment assessment on coffee grounds generated by the company’s stores across the country. If it passes the assessment, the company said it will develop plans to achieve 100% recycling of its coffee grounds over the next five years.

The company said it will first introduce a variety of products made from recycled coffee grounds this year and put it into use in various collaborative projects involving the production of biofuel and construction material to raise the upcycling ratio.

Coffee grounds were considered a non-recyclable material until they were reclassified as a recirculation resource in March.
