Description

With an innovative factory, bio-bean collects and processes thousands of tonnes of waste coffee grounds from coffee factories, shops, transport hubs, and offices. These grounds are transformed into biomass pellets, used for heating buildings. Additionally, bio-bean plans to produce biodiesel at an industrial scale for powering transportation systems. Their commercial offering reduces waste collection costs, eliminates disposal fees, and diverts waste from landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the world's largest recycler of spent coffee grounds, bio-bean helps businesses save money, achieve sustainability goals, and increase transparency in waste disposal. By addressing the environmental impact of coffee waste, bio-bean aims to make a lasting difference and is committed to long-term sustainability. Learn more at www.bio-bean.com.
