Summary of the project
Every season, tourists drink hundreds of thousands of cups of coffee and glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the Zeeland coast. The coffee grounds and orange peels end up in the incinerator, while you can also make new products from them. Six Schouwse beach pavilions opt for the latter. They are going to process their waste in a circular way: coffee grounds come back as a croquette.
The six went to work practically. They spoke with partners in the chain, from suppliers, logistics companies to food producers. In addition to the cycle of organic waste, the pavilion owners also want to reduce packaging material (source: https://www.ad.nl/zeeland/schouwse-strandpaviljoens-gaan-slim-om-met-afval-koffiedrab-komt-terug-als-kroket~aacbfd29/).
