The process explained
It all starts with the Coffee Consumer and ends with the Brick Consumer.
Everyone contributes and every steps matters
It matters if you were a Coffee Drinker and a Café Owner
Australians drink 6 billion cups of coffee a year, so to match our technology in dealing with waste coffee grounds, we've put together a few ways to make our daily habits more sustainable.
​
While many coffee brands currently promote the sourcing side (for example, the ethical treatment of their producers and the sustainability of their farms), little attention is paid to the environmental impact of organic waste at the end of the coffee chain in Australia.
Although it may seem like a task of epic proportions, 77% of surveyed coffee shops said they would be interested in participating in a coffee grounds recovery program, indicating favorable demand and interest from Green Bricks to recycle coffee waste, and we will do it right!
It matters if you were a Waste Collector
Currently, only 7% of ground coffee waste is recycled, used as compost or in cosmetic products, the unfortunate remaining 93% is condemned to spend years disintegrating and causing harmful emissions of polluting gases and liquids.
​
Through agreements with local coffee shops, libraries, schools, municipal houses, and more, we will be able to achieve an efficient collection of coffee waste that will be responsibly managed until it reaches the brick manufacturing companies.
Once the necessary coffee residues are collected, they will be correctly managed to start the mixing process with the rest of the solidification components of the brick.
It matters if you were a Brick Manufacturer and a Brick Consumer
We help reduce the production cost of bricks by 8.3c per brick (or 11.3%)
Most brick manufacturers are not meeting profitability targets due to the sustained structural decline in demand for bricks over the past two decades, which has resulted in tighter margins.
Our technology provides an increased revenue stream with a technology solution that enables brick makers to offer customers an environmentally friendly product at a price higher than that of marketed bricks.
