The UK drinks 98 million cups of coffee every day, creating a quarter of a million tonnes of spent coffee grounds every year. Typically, these grounds are sent to landfills where they emit greenhouse gases, including methane. Discarding in landfill is not only damaging to our environment, but it is also a costly method of waste disposal for businesses due to the UK government’s landfill tax.

At Cawleys we are committed to helping as many companies as possible recycle their coffee grounds into a product with a useful second life.

Cawleys works with bio-bean to enable the recycling of coffee grounds. We do this by enabling our customers to segregate coffee grounds from general waste at the point of disposal.

By choosing to segregate coffee grounds your company could make real savings on waste management costs.  Coffee grounds are wet and heavy and will add significantly to the weight of your general waste. Choosing to divert heavy wet coffee grounds from general waste bins will save you money on waste collection costs whilst reducing the risk of contaminating your dry mixed recycling.
