Caffeinovation

Caffeinated beverages as a lifestyle accessory

Implications - Carrying a coffee is as much a social status symbol as having the season’s must-have handbag. While in the past few years, this was achieved by carrying a Starbucks-branded cup, the movement now also includes unique anti-branded accessories that prove someone brews their joe at home.

3. Eco-friendliness in Coffee Industry - Companies can develop eco-friendly and compostable products such as plates made of coffee grounds and pedal-powered coffee retailers to serve customers while being environmentally conscious
