Corporate Social Responsibility 

Did you know!?

​

Around 400 Billion cups of coffee are consumed a year.

​

Meaning over 500,000 tonnes of coffee waste end up in landfill each year in the UK alone.

​

Waste Coffee Grounds into landfill is a catalyst for producing Methane gas which is 20 times more damaging to the environment than CO2!

​

It’s also a potential source of hazardous pathogens and organic leachates that can contaminate surface and ground water courses, leading to other biological and environmental hazards.
