That cup of freshly brewed coffee
is what keeps most of us going every day. However, other than keeping us
recharged , it offers numerous other health benefits. But , that’s not it! Even
coffee leftovers can be turned into something useful. There are some clever
companies who have clashed in on this idea already and you can as well ; since
our coffee consumption is an all-time high and we have plenty of it to use.
Here is a list of ideas that have been used to recycle coffee grounds and give
them a new life. Go through it and
perhaps you’ll find something you’d like to do as well.
- · Art - Leftover coffee grounds can be used as an alternative option for paint. This will not only help you save on the cost but also serve as a hack for the artists out there who like to experiment with their paintings.
- · Clothing - The leftover coffee grounds can also be used to make yarn , which can then be converted into fabrics with deodorizing properties. These fabrics will even resist UV rays and work surprisingly for athletes.
- · Environment - Coffee remains can also be used to capture carbon from the environment and decrease a great degree of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. This is achieved by steeping the remains in a solution of potassium hydroxide and heating then mixture , stirring it and then drying it. It is heated to very high temperatures to attain its carbon-bonding properties.
- · Mushrooms – You could grow mushrooms and start a farm in less than two minutes by using coffee grounds as a base for your fungus. It takes a couple of weeks for the batch to grow and the same grounds can be used multiple times for various batches of mushrooms.
Given the whole lot of benefits
coffee brings , it makes sense to indulge in a fresh cup every now and then.
