bio-bean is the world’s largest recycler of spent coffee grounds, recycling thousands of tonnes annually into sustainable bio-products.
The UK drinks 95 million cups of coffee every day, creating up to 500,000 tonnes of spent coffee grounds every year. Typically, these grounds are sent to landfill where they emit greenhouse gases, including methane.
Discarding grounds in landfill is not only damaging to our environment, it is also a costly method of waste disposal for businesses due to the UK government’s landfill tax.
So we developed a better solution...
We collect spent coffee grounds from UK businesses at every scale, and we recycle these grounds into sustainable products for a variety of industries.
At bio-bean we’re on a mission to reduce waste, reduce emissions and create a real difference for our world by sustainably innovating through coffee waste.
