With homeowners and industry alike seeking to purchase more sustainable, yet still efficient and cost-effective fuels, bio-bean’s Coffee Logs offer the perfect solution.
Made from recycled coffee grounds, our coffee fire logs are a sustainable log perfect for domestic wood burners and multi-fuel stoves. And they really turn up the heat, burning 20% hotter and longer than their wood counterparts.
Sustainability is the latest buzz word. From fair trade sourcing to single-use plastics, the environmental, economic and health impacts of retail products are under growing scrutiny. When it comes to what they put into their homes and onto their bodies, consumers are increasingly demanding greater responsibility and transparency from businesses.
This demand will only continue to grow as the world continues to feel increasing impacts from climate change, overstretched natural resources and the swelling global population.
And when it comes to heating their homes and getting cosy by the fire, consumers are beginning to think more carefully about the source of their fuel. Our Coffee Logs are environmentally friendly home fire briquettes made from recycled coffee grounds. In fact, each Coffee Log contains the grounds from around 25 cups of coffee, collected from businesses across the UK.
The UK drinks 95 million cups of coffee every day. This creates around half a million tonnes of waste coffee grounds every year, which typically get discarded into landfill along with general waste where they emit harmful greenhouse gases, including methane. Methane is 34 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period and is one of the leading causes of climate change.
We divert these waste coffee grounds from landfill, taking them from coffee shops, restaurants and office blocks, and even airports, train stations and instant coffee factories, and recycle them for reuse. By recycling waste grounds into Coffee Logs, we save 80% on CO2e emissions compared to the grounds being sent to landfill.
And not only do Coffee Logs save on harmful greenhouse gas emissions, they also burn efficiently – 20% hotter and longer than kiln-dried wood – while averting the carbon-heavy footprint associated with coal or from importing wood from overseas. They are the perfect fuel for heating your home without heating the planet.
