We Built the Infrastructure to Make
Spent Coffee Grounds Disappear.
Responsibly.
“It started with an uncomfortable truth. More than 11 million tonnes of spent coffee grounds are generated worldwide each day - that’s 3,000 tractor trailer loads!
This scale demands better systems to keep this resource out of landfill and put it to better use, for the benefit of the environment, and future generations.”
If landfilled, that volume creates nearly 9.8 million tonnes of CO₂e emissions.
- Quinn Cavanagh, RFINE Founder
