Reduce Food Waste by Upcycling Coffee Grounds Video Watch time under 1 minute August 3, 2024 Image How can you repurpose your used coffee grounds? In this video, Maynard Okereke shows us how to reduce food waste by upcycling coffee grounds in three useful household hacks. First, coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer, as they contain nitrogen and micronutrients that can help plants grow. Next, they can be used as a deodorizer, because their nitrogen-rich composition allows them to absorb sulfur and other odors from the air. Finally, coffee grounds can help clean greasy pans alongside soap by scouring them with their coarse texture. Using these hacks can help reduce coffee ground waste, which accounts for 60 million tons of landfill waste annually! Topics Environmental Science Share
