Enabled by policy changes and innovative technologies, a new paradigm known as the circular economy is emerging, one that holds the promise of reshaping the global economy and transforming our relationship with the natural world—the coffee tree very much included. The aim of the circular economy is to close the loop of our industrial system, reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution by transforming waste into input material for the next stage of production. “Sustainability has evolved significantly from the late 1990s to now,” says Nina Goodrich, executive director of GreenBlue, a nonprofit based in Charlottesville, Virginia, dedicated to the sustainable use of materials. “The most difficult aspect of sustainability has been integrating this into your business strategy, and the circular economy provides a better framework to help companies do that.” The simplest way to reuse used coffee grounds is to compost them. | Photo by Shane Genziuk The circular economy traces its origins back to “We have to move the 1970s, but it is only in the past few years that the concept has taken off, driven in large part by the away from what work of the U.K.-based Ellen MacArthur Foundation. folks call our linear As Goodrich explains it, a circular economy is based on the recognition that “we have to move away from economy of take- what folks call our linear economy of take-make- make-waste and waste and envision a next life for what currently is our waste. … It’s about how we build and make envision a next life things so that one person’s waste becomes another person’s input materials.” Photo courtesy of GreenBlue for what currently Over the past several decades, nongovernmental is our waste. … It’s organizations have gradually succeeded in persuading businesses to adopt a variety of about how we build and make things so sustainable practices that ultimately transformed that one person’s waste becomes another the specialty coffee industry.

Dajian helped to create a circular economy strategy for the Chinese central government, which is struggling to manage the environmental damage produced by its rapid industrialization.

Used coffee grounds end up as landfill. However, the unique structural properties of its porous surface make coffee grounds popular for the adsorption of gaseous molecules. In the present work, we demonstrate the use of coffee grounds as a potential and cheap source for biochar carbon. The produced coffee ground biochar (CGB) was investigated as a sensing material for developing humidity sensors. CGB was fully characterized by using laser granulometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and the Brunnauer Emmett Teller (BET) technique in order to acquire a complete understanding of its structural and surface properties and composition.

  • 20 UNUSUAL USES for COFFEE More Ways to Justify Your Addiction
    20 UNUSUAL USES FOR COFFEE More ways to justify your addiction to caffeine. Can you imagine life without coffee? We’d all stumble around like drones for hours every morning, lost without our precious fix. We love coffee for its flavor, its aroma and of course its pick-me-up, but there are at least 20 more compelling reasons to stay stocked up. These tips will give you surprising and unusual uses for fresh coffee beans or grounds that have gone stale, the pounds of used grounds you toss out every week and the dregs at the bottom of your cup. Kill fridge odor Wouldn’t you rather smell coffee than two-week-old leftovers, half-rotten produce and spoiled milk? If your fridge is a nightmare of foul odors, place a bowl of fresh, unused coffee grounds inside and leave it for a day or two. The coffee will absorb the odors and you’ll crave a cup whenever you open the door. This odor-killing trick works for practically anything else as well – just place the item in a sealed plastic bag along with an open can of coffee grounds and bye-bye stank. Reduce cellulite Pricey cellulite creams almost always have one major ingredient in common: caffeine, which supposedly enhances fat metabolism, reducing the appearance of these fatty pockets under the skin. To make your own coffee cellulite treatment at home, mix warm used coffee grounds with coconut oil and rub it onto your skin in circular motions for a few minutes before rinsing. Erase smells on your hands Garlic, salmon, cilantro – there are some things that smell delicious when cooking, but aren’t so pleasant hours later when they linger on your hands.
