“No waste” is the statement of the era! How to use coffee grounds once they have been brewed? Find out how coffee ground waste can be reduced but more importantly, how used coffee grounds can be recycled and upcycled! We are not talking about waste, we are talking about a raw material!”

Before moving forward, let’s find out what is the difference between the terms:

Upcycling: taking the waste as it is to create something totally new that usually is of higher value than the original goods. For example repurposing coffee grounds into shoes.

Recycling: sorting, breaking down and processing the waste to create something totally new that is roughly of the same value than the original goods. For example a used plastic bottle is taken into recycling and turned into a new plastic bottle which again, at some point, ends up into recycling.

Downcycling: sorting, breaking down and processing the waste to expand the life cycle of the raw material before tossing it for good. For example an old t-shirt gets a new life as a cleaning rug.

How to minimize the coffee waste?

Of course we want to produce as small amount of waste as possible. When talking about coffee in the cafés and at homes this means:

- Recycling the garbage and not sending them to landfill (coffee - packages, used coffee grounds).

- Upcycling in small scale or contributing to industrial upcycling. 

- Purchasing and brewing based on the demand.
- Remembering FIFO (= first in, first out).
