Sustainable chaff collection for coffee husk roasters committed to waste reduction.
Chaff Collection for Eco-Conscious Coffee Roasters
Reground offers a tailored chaff collection service for coffee roasters who care about sustainability. The coffee husk—the dry outer layer of the coffee bean—is an inevitable by-product of roasting, but it’s far too valuable to be tossed into landfills. We’re here to ensure your chaff finds a meaningful second life, whether through innovative uses or enriching local soils as compost.
Turning Chaff into a Resource
A Greener Way to Handle Coffee Husks
The coffee husk from your roasting process is packed with potential. Instead of letting this rich resource contribute to landfill waste, Reground collects your chaff and redirects it to sustainable endpoints. From adding nitrogen and carbon to compost to inspiring creative applications, we’re committed to keeping chaff out of the waste stream and in the circular economy.
How We Collect Your Chaff
How Does Chaff Collection Work?
Our chaff collection process is designed to fit seamlessly into your operations. We start by assessing your past chaff volumes to determine the perfect pickup schedule—whether weekly, biweekly, or otherwise. We supply you with sturdy bags to store the coffee husk until our team arrives. Whether your chaff is dry, wet, or compressed, we’ll take it all—every form is a fantastic addition to gardens and compost piles.
Where Your Chaff Goes
What Happens to the Chaff?
Every batch of chaff we collect is donated free of charge to local community gardens, schools, and home gardeners. This coffee husk becomes a powerhouse for soil health, nourishing compost with essential nutrients and supporting the growth of fresh, local food. Want to learn more about using chaff in your garden? Check out our dedicated guide. By giving chaff a new purpose, we’re fostering sustainability one roast at a time.
Keeping Chaff Out of Landfills
Why Don’t We Want Chaff in Landfill?
A circular economy thrives on maximising resource value, and chaff is no exception. This coffee husk can go straight back into the soil as mulch or compost, enhancing fertility and structure. When chaff ends up in landfills, it breaks down anaerobically, releasing harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By diverting it instead, we reduce emissions and give this by-product a productive second life, benefiting both the environment and the community.
The Cost of Sustainability
Why is there a fee?
Waste collection comes with a cost, no matter the destination. With Reground, you’re redirecting those funds to a social enterprise that prioritises community and environmental good. When coffee roasters choose our chaff collection service, they’re investing in a movement that supports everyone, not just a select few. Our profits fuel sustainable initiatives, ensuring that coffee husk waste becomes a force for positive change rather than a burden on landfills.
