WHAT IF COFFEE WASTE COULD BE USED FOR A GREATER GOOD? A major downside to our favourite drink is that most coffee grounds are used only once and then succumb to landfill. Decomposing coffee grounds in bulk quantities give off harmful Methane gas, which is around x34 more potent than Carbon Dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Methane gas is thus a primary cause of global warming. With an ever-increasing coffee-drinking culture, this problem is only set to worsen. Most coffee establishments also have to pay high commercial waste rates to remove their abundant, wet and heavy coffee grounds. So, what if these waste grounds could avoid a trip to landfill and then a wonderful new and meaningful purpose found for them to benefit our wellbeing and our communities? This was the starting point of GFG. Founded in 2021, during lockdown, by retired medic, Dr Rosie Oretti. The principle aim of the company is to change what we consider to be waste.
