CJ Freshway Ainuri Launches 'Seedling Lab Basil Growing Kit'

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] CJ Freshway's kids food ingredient brand 'Ainuri' announced on the 24th that it will launch the 'Sprout Lab Basil Growing Kit' made from eco-friendly coffee pots.

Ainuri's basil growing kit was created in collaboration with the upcycling company 'Coffee Cube' and was planned to convey the concept of resource circulation to children ahead of Arbor Day. The kit is available in three sizes: large, medium, and small, and contains an eco-friendly pot made from coffee grounds, which are the leftover coffee residue after brewing, and basil seed capsules widely used in cooking. Additionally, compressed cultivation soil, a guidebook, and an eco-friendly paper box are included. The coffee grounds used to make the pots include collections from the cafe brand 'Morning Haze'.

The basil growing kit will be distributed to nationwide daycare centers, kindergartens, and local children's centers, which are Ainuri's client companies. CJ Freshway plans to expand the collection of coffee grounds to all of its food service clients in the future and introduce a wider variety of eco-friendly products.

A CJ Freshway official said, "The goal of this project is to take full responsibility for and manage the entire process of collecting and processing waste or discarded surplus resources generated from corporate activities," adding, "If our clients and end consumers participate in this process together, it will greatly strengthen the structure of sustainable resource circulation."
