# Biodegradable Shampoo Packaging Recoffee Tree in the Packaging Uses Wasted Coffee Products By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-02-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recoffee References: [miladybeat](http://www.miladybeat.com/next-shampoo-bottle-grow-coffee-tree/) & [red-dot-21](http://www.red-dot-21.com/projects/recoffee-tree-in-the-bottle-25021) The Recoffee Tree in the Bottle shampoo is an extraordinary product due to the extent of its eco-friendly features, which aren't confined to the product itself but every aspect of it including its packaging. The shampoo itself includes coffee oil from coffee grounds -- usually discarded as waste material. Additionally, leftover coffee seeds are embedded in a small case at the bottom of the shampoo bottle. Once the shampoo is used up, the Recoffee Tree in the Bottle bottle can be buried in the soil. Over a period of time -- roughly a year -- it will decompose and serve as nutrients for the coffee seeds. Ultimately, the seed in the bottle will grow into a coffee tree. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Creating biodegradable packaging solutions for consumer products. - **Waste Utilization:** Finding innovative ways to repurpose and utilize waste materials. - **Circular Economy:** Developing products and systems that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Exploring sustainable packaging options in the beauty and personal care industry. - **Food and Beverage:** Finding ways to repurpose waste materials from the food and beverage industry. - **Sustainable Agriculture:** Adopting eco-friendly practices in agriculture, including using products that can serve as nutrients for crops. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Dissolving Shampoo Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dissolving-bottles.md) - [Paper-Packaged Haircare Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babo-botanicals.md) - [Upcycled Coffee By-Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaffe-bueno.md) - [Modernized Eco Beverage Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-bottle.md) - [Eco-Friendly Upcycled Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innerjoi-by-joico.md) - [Recyclable Coffee Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tanuii-coffee.md) - [Refillable Haircare Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hairstory-new-wash.md) - [Ocean Plastic-Made Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-landscapes-collection.md) - [Sustainable Product Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperbased-solution.md)
