Turning waste into growth, pollution into possibility
Your morning cup of coffee leaves roughly 13 grams of spent coffee grounds (SCG) that end up in landfills.
Every year, the global coffee industry produces a staggering 6 to 8 million tons of biowaste.
This mounting waste stream catalyzes a significant environmental crisis and a waste of resource.
Whereas traditional thinking views SCG as pollutants to be disposed of, our team's approach recognizes the potential of SCG as a strong biofertilizer that can revolutionize agricultural sustainability.
Spent coffee grounds can be repurposed from waste to an eco-friendly biofertilizer as it is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. This provides a sustainable solution that minimizes landfill burden while enhancing soil fertility.

The caffeine residue in the SCG, which inhibits plant growth,
……remains the most prominent concern of its application as a fertilizer.

We offer a solution to these problems.
We genetically modified E. coli, which serves as a natural caffeine scavenger during the fermentation of SCG.
By removing this residual caffeine, we transform what would otherwise be waste into a valuable eco-friendly agricultural resource at a fraction of traditional costs.
Through partnership and cooperation, the responsibility to both respond to our environment and initiate new agricultural pathways rest on the shoulders of us all. We aim to develop innovative solutions that help us adapt, sustain, and enrich our world.
