In 2019, the USA used 3.5 billion pounds of coffee beans.
That's more than the weight of 4 empire state buildings! |

By mass, coffee grounds contain 15% oil.

After brewing, coffee grounds are sent to the landfill.
Trapped in the grounds, the oil rots. |

In 2019, coffee oil in US landfills released over 120 million pounds of CO2.
That's equivalent to 6 million gallons of burned gasoline! |
At the Kawa Project, we are on a mission to upcycle waste coffee grounds to minimize agricultural waste in the US.
