Who doesn’t enjoy their first, second or third coffee every day, but what happens to your coffee grounds.
When coffee grounds end up in landfill, they release methane – a greenhouse gas 28x more potent than CO2.
Reground – a Melbourne based social enterprise works with cafes to collect coffee pucks and deliver the grounds free of charge to community and home gardeners.
If you make your own coffee at home, the grounds can be repurposed in many ways:
Composting: nitrogen rich and perfect for building nutrient rich soil.
Worm farms: a great food source, helps retain moisture and can even deter pests.
Mushroom growing: an ideal substrate for growing oyster mushrooms – they love it.
If you support your local café and have your favourite barista, find out how they dispose of their coffee grounds. Let them know about Reground – for more information check out this link Coffee Grounds Collection & Recycling | Sustainable Waste Solutions - Reground — Reground
