☕ Turning Brewed Coffee Waste into a Sustainable Solution ♻️ Did you know that millions of tons of used coffee grounds are discarded daily, contributing to environmental waste? 🌍 What if we could take this waste and turn it into something valuable, sustainable, and useful? I’ve been exploring ways to repurpose spent coffee grounds into handmade soaps, body scrubs, and other sustainable products. Not only do these products offer natural exfoliation, but they also help reduce waste while promoting eco-friendly practices. 🌱 This idea aligns with my passion for circular economy, where waste is reimagined as a resource instead of a liability. Now, I need your help: 🚀 Looking to connect with: #Coffee shops and roasters area willing to supply their brewed grounds #Experts in sustainable product development or cosmetics #Brands and individuals who share an interest in green initiatives Let’s work together to create something that benefits both people and the planet! 💚 If you're excited about this idea, please reach out or share this post to help spread the word. Together, we can brew up a change! 🙌 #Sustainability #EcoFriendly #CoffeeWaste #CircularEconomy #Toronto #NaturalProducts #Upcycling

From 'discarded coffee' to mushroom in 15 days. Reinventing new circular processes.

Coffee waste☕️ ➡️ mushrooms 🍄 Still throw away coffee grounds? Julien Jacquet and his PermaFungi team collect coffee waste - and transform it into amazing edible mushrooms. What's cool & circular about this? ➡️🟢 Green food products. The company produces 1 ton of fresh oyster mushrooms and 10 tonnes of organic fertiliser from the recycled coffee grounds (per month). ➡️🟢 Zero waste. The residual from the process is not thrown away - but finds an application in the home appliances industry. ➡️🟢 Clean transport: By using bicycles for collecting coffee grounds and delivering products, PermaFungi avoids CO2 emissions, contributing to a reduction in the carbon footprint. ➡️🟢 DIY. Everybody can do it. With a self-growing kit you can start growing mushrooms yourself. Just can't throw away the 'black gold' any more! #circulareconomy #zerowaste #linkedintopvoices Credit: Ecomedy

❓Did you know mushrooms love coffee too? 🍄☕️ This is a great example of circularity for food, repurposing used coffee grounds (which many coffee shops give away for free!) to grow mushrooms. Turning waste into a medium for growing new food. Instead of throwing things away, communities need to work together to find ways of repurposing and reusing them. Bringing businesses together with charity partners, circular economy innovation and people in local communities is what the Circulsr Mile aims to achieve. Working together we can find solutions to reduce waste, create more sustainable cities and communities and provide education, training and employment opportunities for local people.

🌱 Sustainability is more than just a trend – it is a commitment we take seriously at PulpaMulpa. At a time when the protection of our resources is a top priority, we ask: why do we use only 30% of the cocoafruit and throw the rest away? At PulpaMulpa, we use the remaining 70% of the cocoa fruit, which is usually unused, to make our products. Our approach aims not only to offer delicious products, but also to contribute to the reduction of food waste. Together, let's change the way we use our resources. Join the movement for a more sustainable future! "Together against Fruitwaste!" 🌍💚 #Fruitwaste #Pulpamulpa #togetheragainstfruitwaste

🌿 Why Choose Eco-Friendly Disposable Dinnerware? 🌿 In today's world, sustainability is more important than ever. One simple yet impactful change we can make is switching to eco-friendly disposable dinnerware. Here's why bamboo dinnerware is a game-changer: Environmental Benefits: Bamboo is a highly renewable resource that grows rapidly without the need for pesticides or fertilizers. Choosing bamboo dinnerware helps reduce the demand for plastic, which takes centuries to decompose. Biodegradability: Unlike plastic, bamboo dinnerware is biodegradable. It breaks down naturally, leaving no harmful residues. This means less waste in our landfills and a cleaner planet for future generations. Compostable: Bamboo dinnerware can be composted at home or in industrial composting facilities, turning waste into valuable nutrients for the soil. Zero Waste: Embracing bamboo dinnerware is a step towards a zero-waste lifestyle. By reducing reliance on single-use plastics, we can significantly lower our environmental footprint. Making the switch to bamboo dinnerware is not just a trend, but a commitment to sustainability and a healthier planet. Let's make a positive impact, one meal at a time. 🌎💚 #EcoFriendly #Disposable BambooDinnerware #Sustainability #GreenLiving #ZeroWaste

From waste to wonder: at Royal Canin, we care not only for pets but also for people and the planet. Ever wondered what happens to the organic waste from our headquarters canteen? Or the waste from the hundreds of coffees our Associates enjoy every day? The answer: we don’t throw it away. Instead, we transform it. Today, we're excited to introduce you to Bokaworm, a project that demonstrates our commitment to circular economy practices. Through an Asian-inspired technique, we convert organic waste, coffee grounds, and pet waste into high-quality humus in just six weeks. This process not only reduces waste but also regenerates soil, stores carbon, and supports a healthier environment. With this innovation, we’ll recycle wastes into a sanitized and highly nourishing vermicompost with water storage properties, enabling healthier plant and crop development, while storing more carbon.
