The UK consumes around 95 million cups of coffee per day, resulting in a significant amount of coffee ground waste. A year’s worth of this waste is estimated to weigh over 250,000 tonnes. When ending up in landfill, coffee grounds contribute to the emission of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
That’s why Recorra’s dedicated commercial coffee ground recycling stream, with partner Evar, is such an impactful innovation — saving nutrient rich commercial coffee grounds from general waste by transforming them into circular products.
Recycling your businesses coffee grounds with Recorra will help save you money on landfill waste charges from this heavy material, as well as produce sustainable compost, soil enhancing pellets and even coffee-based fuels.

Your coffee grounds are taken to our recycling partner, Envar.
Envar recycle your coffee grounds into sustainable bio products, such as biofertiliser.
