Coffee Grounds Recycling

Recycling your coffee grounds is the best solution for this material previously considered waste. In fact, it saves 130% more in greenhouse gas emissions than sending them to anaerobic digestion!
Plus, the grounds are repurposed into new sustainable products, allowing you to potentially reuse your spent coffee in new ways and boost your businesses’ sustainability credentials.

As well as recycling them using our coffee grounds recycling service, you can reuse them as fertiliser for your garden, as a natural cleaning scrub and even as an exfoliator for your skin.

There are no specific handling requirements for coffee grounds, so recycling them is simple. Our only advice is to keep them segregated from your other waste, such as dry-mixed recycling or non-recyclable waste, to prevent contamination.

At Bywaters, we provide special coffee ground containers for recycling, so you needn’t worry. All you need to do is make sure the grounds have been disposed of into the correct bin that we give you.

If your coffee grounds are slightly wet, we can still process them. However, you should try to pour most of the excess water down the sink. When disposing of your coffee grounds, ensure they aren’t mixed with any non-organic matter, as this makes the grounds impossible to recycle or repurpose through our services. It’s also important to ensure that there is no food waste mixed in with the coffee grounds.
