Turning Trash into Treasure
The truth is, spent coffee grounds and single-use cups that are dumped into landfills still have so much more value to harvest. Spent coffee grounds are great for fertilizing gardens, repelling insects and pests, and neutralizing odors. Companies are also making products out of spent coffee grounds and disposable cups, like
Rens world’s first coffee sneakers made from spent coffee grounds, and
Circular&Co world’s first reusable coffee cups made from recycled paper cups.
This #InternationalCoffeeDay, we’ve decided to invite some of our staff who drink coffee from single-use cups on a daily basis to participate in an experiment. We will have them carry the Circular&Co Reusable Coffee Cups and provide feedback - the pros and cons, as well as the feeling of becoming part of the sustainability solution.
If you are still using disposable cups, join us in the experiment and contribute to a sustainable solution to global waste. Pick a reusable cup you love, bring it with you and see how it goes! Follow TGB Charity Instagram account for more updates on the experiment and learn more about your favorite drink.
