Repurposing food waste will not only be a trend, but the default choice for consumers.

The impact of coffee

1. In 2021, 4.5 billion cups of coffee were consumed in Denmark;
2. Most of the used coffee grounds are then treated as waste;
3. Every ton of coffee waste releases 5.6 tonnes of CO2e into the atmosphere;
4. 99% of the nutrients are still left in the grounds, but we throw it away.

After learning how much valuable waste is generated within the food industry, Connecting Grounds was founded with the vision of developing new food products, by starting with spent coffee grounds. And that's how everything started.

But then the question arose: what do we up-cycle it into?

The most justifiable way to up-cycle spent coffee grounds is to reintroduce them into the food cycle, again. Now more than ever, food products should be produced without requiring additional arable land for a more sustainable world!
