Listen "Zero Waste Coffee Can Save Our Forests "
Episode Synopsis
Did you know, used coffee grounds can reduce deforestation because they contain many of the same properties as palm oil?
In this episode of the Sustainability Matters Today podcast, I interview Fergus Moore, Co-Founder of Revive Eco and #Champion of Diverting Coffee Grounds from Landfill.
Revive Eco collects and recycles used coffee grounds to produce a range of eco-friendly products. Recently, they were chosen as a Solve - MIT Global Finalist for their proposal of converting coffee grounds into high value, natural oils. For their innovation, Revive-Eco received the LiveWIRE Smarter Future Award in 2016, a Green Champion Award from the Glasgow Business Awards in 2017, a grant from Zero Waste Scotland’s Circular Economy Investment Fund in 2018, and recently they were semi-finalists in the Chivas Venture Final in 2019, for which they received $20,000 in prize money.
