Transforming Coffee Grounds into a Sustainable Future
What do we do?
RFINE is revolutionizing the quick service coffee industry by developing technology to sustainably upcycle spent coffee grounds into food-grade ingredients, thereby diverting coffee ground waste from going to landfills and saving retailers money on disposal costs.
We make a big impact.
The Environment.
By redirecting spent coffee grounds from landfills, RFINE is significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional coffee waste disposal methods, making a tangible difference in mitigating climate change.
The Coffee Consumer.
By choosing coffee from RFINE-affiliated shops, consumers are actively participating in a sustainable coffee ecosystem, where every sip contributes to a greener future by supporting the upcycling of coffee grounds into valuable food-grade ingredients.
The Coffee Shop.
Coffee shop owners partnering with RFINE benefit from a reduced environmental impact and lower waste disposal costs, ultimately bolstering their bottom line and reputation as responsible businesses.

“It started with an uncomfortable truth. That over 57 million kilograms of spent coffee grounds are generated worldwide each day. We need to find sustainable ways to upcycle the grounds for the benefit of the planet, the environment, and future generations.”
