Grounds for Recycling is an innovative hospitality and tourism-led campaign designed to help tackle the industry’s food waste.
The campaign is running throughout Glasgow this summer (25 July – 13 August), in collaboration with the cycling calendar’s biggest event – the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships.
Led by Glasgow Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Glasgow Life and Zero Waste Scotland, the campaign will see over 60 of Glasgow’s cycle-friendly coffee hangouts and local roasters join forces to turn used coffee grounds into something better for the planet.
The used coffee grounds from all participating venues will be collected by an e-cargo bike and taken to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Here, the grounds will be turned into compost, building ecosystems that capture carbon, rehabilitate soil and support wildlife and biodiversity.
The campaign will also showcase innovative ways that businesses and individuals can repurpose their own coffee grounds, providing tips, tools and case studies that inspire everyone to tackle food waste.
