Coffee Grounds Recycling
Coffee grounds recycling is ideal for any organisation serving lots of fresh coffee. We collect your waste coffee grounds and take them to Envar who upcycle them into sustainable bio-products.
Every year in the UK, we drink nearly 36 billion cups of coffee, generating 250,000 tonnes of waste coffee grounds. By renewing some of these grounds through a specialised treatment process, Envar reduces waste, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to a circular economy.
It’s time to segregate your coffee grounds and start saving money.

FAQs
Why can’t I put coffee beans in general waste?
Disposing of your coffee into general waste with another supplier could mean it ends up in landfill. Here, they release greenhouse gases such as methane which is significantly more harmful than carbon monoxide in global warming.
What are biofuel pellets used for?
Biofuel pellets are used to provide heat for buildings. Coffee logs can be used on multi-fuel stoves as an alternative to logs (unfortunately they don’t smell of coffee when burning though!)
