Coffee was
wasteful…

We are the world’s largest recycler of coffee grounds.

We recycle spent coffee grounds into a broad spectrum of efficient, sustainable products for a range of markets, both consumer and industrial.

About

The UK consumes 98 million cups of coffee every day, creating hundreds of thousands of tonnes of spent coffee grounds every year. Much of this discarded resource ends up in landfill emitting harmful greenhouse gases, including methane.

We work with the biggest companies in the UK to transform these spent coffee grounds into value at an industrial scale, giving new life to a material previously considered waste, and contributing to a circular economy.

Renewals

Our efficient coffee recycling and renewals service reduces the financial implications and inefficiencies of traditional disposal methods, whilst achieving significant environmental benefits.

Naturals

We extract diverse residual compounds from food-grade spent coffee grounds, producing natural, sustainable alternatives to virgin or synthesised products.

Elements

Spent coffee grounds are highly calorific by nature. Our biomass solid fuels exploit this value, providing sustainable alternatives to carbon-heavy coal and virgin biomass.
