What Happens to Your Coffee After You Dr...

Rohan Cooke
About this episode

Join us as we do the rounds with Beatrice from Reground!

Reground is transforming waste, collecting used coffee grounds and soft plastics from cafes and roasteries, diverting over 2 million kilograms of waste from landfills! In today’s episode, we explore their innovative process: turning coffee grounds into rich compost and fertilizer, while soft plastics are repurposed into oil. Along the way, we visit local cafes, tackling the challenges of recycling and exploring the crucial role consumer education plays in shaping a greener future.

And hold on—big news! The industry is making bold moves, using coffee grounds on large-scale farms—how cool is that? We explore the exciting possibilities for a sustainable future and why waste management is more important than ever.
