Zwei Packungen Bean Saver Ganzjahresdünger mit Gemüse im Vordergrund

Coffee & plant fertiliser?

We are always on the search for innovative ideas in terms of sustainability and what could be more obvious than to think of ‘our’ waste product, the coffee brew, which is far too good to be thrown away.

Imagine a delicious cup of coffee in the countryside. Not only do you treat yourself to a wonderful break, but you can also help the plants to grow, as coffee grounds are a natural plant fertiliser.
Fun fact: only 1% of the coffee bean ends up in our cup when we drink coffee. The rest ends up as coffee grounds in the machine and subsequently as waste.

From our point of view, this doesn't have to be the case, so together with our innovation partner BeResilient GmbH, we have set ourselves the task of turning coffee grounds into a recyclable material and processing them.

The first product is now ready: a universal fertiliser for gardens, patios and balconies that can be used all year round.
A 100% Austrian product, produced by an organic farm in Salzburg.

So a big THANK YOU to everyone who diligently collects coffee grounds at home. With this initiative, we are not only making a contribution to sustainability, but also showing how innovation and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
can go hand in hand.

We have already presented our project to two innovative customers of café+co Austria so that we can make a greater contribution in the future. Both contacts were enthusiastic about the idea of processing coffee grounds!

Now it's time to work out the details and find suitable sales partners so that the fertiliser can soon be purchased throughout Austria. Initial talks are already underway and we are looking forward to continuing our journey together!
