While we all love our delicious cup of morning coffee, this boom in society’s love for coffee has led to an unseen problem. Coffee ground's are currently being taken to landfill. The anaerobic environment in which it is placed allows it to become a greenhouse gas in the form of methane. Methane has 20 times the global warming capacity of CO2! It is estimated globally that  2 billion tons of coffee waste is produced every year. 

We Recycle Coffee ! Here are 5 Cool Things Made from Recycled Coffee Grounds:

● 1.  Bio-bean | Biofuels From Coffee Grounds Could Help Power London. 
London-based company, Bio-bean, hopes to turn left-over coffee grounds into biodiesel for vehicles and biomass pellets to heat buildings.

👉• Bio-bean makes Coffee Logs, a compact fire log made from recycled waste coffee grounds, perfect for burning in domestic wood burners and multi-fuel stoves.  Each log contains the grounds from around 25 cups of coffee, collected from businesses across the UK. And not only do Coffee Logs save on harmful greenhouse gas emissions, they also burn efficiently – 20% hotter and longer than kiln-dried wood. They are the perfect fuel for heating your home without heating the planet.

👉• Biodiesel made from used coffee grounds Coffee pellets are said to produce 150 percent more energy than wood pellets Biomass coffee pellets can be used to heat buildings 200,000 tons of coffee waste are produced in London each year. While using recycled coffee grounds to power a car is nothing new, the difference with Bio-bean is its grand ambitions to massively scale up a system of recycling, processing and fueling for a large city, in this case London. Basically, it wants the city’s coffee dispensaries to contribute their leftovers, and then to process the grounds into pellets which can be used to heat homes.

● 4. RENS | World's First Waterproof Shoe Made From Coffee
Sneaker brand Rens is reducing the fashion sector’s waste levels by making shoes from coffee grounds.
 
Coffee is a big deal. While just a handful of countries dominate production, it’s consumed in vast amounts almost everywhere on the planet: around 2 billion cups are drunk every day.
 
All that coffee produces a lot of waste. Coffee grounds often end up in landfill or being washed into sinks and drains, contributing to the food waste problem – around a third of all food produced is thrown away.
