Coffee grounds often become waste before their principles have been fully extracted. In this article, the Pro-Fondi team tells you about some ways to use coffee powder and to reuse the grounds, avoiding waste. Pro-Fondi EVO, the innovative electric knockbox unit patented by Ambrodesign, is an automatic filter holder cleaning system that allows you to collect the grounds in a bag without spillage.

One of the natural principles of coffee is to absorb bad smells from the refrigerator: just put a few spoons in a container and it will have a surprising action. But remember to change them at least once a week!

But the coffee grounds, after being dried, are also used to keep insects away from the entrance points of the house and as fertilizers for plants, which absorb the nutrients necessary for growth and flowering. They are also useful for growing mushrooms and as a flea control for your pet: just sprinkle some on their coats!

Attention, the alternative uses of coffee do not end there. The Oltrecafè project, born in 2014, aims to recycle the funds of this raw material, which would otherwise be thrown away, to create the first 100% ecological Italian pellet for stoves. It thus becomes a product which, being of biological origin, drastically reduces carbon dioxide emissions compared to fossil fuels with the same yield in terms of heat produced.

Coffee powder or grounds are also used in the home preparation of body care products, such as for making anti-cellulite oils or creams and natural scrubs. A treatment that is as economical as it is effective, we assure you!

And so? Today you have come to understand that coffee grounds are recyclable in various ways.

In all its forms, to conclude, it is a resource with a thousand uses and properties and full of benefits: try to change your daily gestures and give a sustainable change to your days, starting with the smallest!
