Uses waste coffee pulp and skin to create dense, nutritional flour. Every year, the global coffee industry generates 46 billion pounds of coffee cherry byproduct. The waste is then sent to landfills that emit 16.6 million metric tons of CO2. To combat this problem, this company uses coffee pulp and skin waste to make flour. This flour is nutrient-dense as it's high in fiber and mineral content (calcium, iron, zinc, and antioxidants). By reducing fruit decaying in fields, this process reduces the emission of greenhouse gases. The company claims this process resulted in 280,702 lbs. less byproduct polluting fields and streams and 101,053 kg less CO2 emissions. This process also reduces methane emissions and the risks of groundwater pollution (in landfills, mycotoxins can leach into groundwater and subsequent water bodies).
