| dc.description.abstract | A number of people have never heard or used spent coffee ground to for any use and they were generated
in large quantities on a daily and this called on to this research to clarify how people could reuse and
financially benefit from the reuse.
The projects main objective was to determine the feasibility study of the reuse of coffee ground that is to
say the availability of the spent coffee grounds, the technical viability of the reuse of coffee grounds and
economic potentials of one of the reuses. Different data collection tools were used in the accomplishment
of the project ie observation interviews with different coffee shops and surveys. Also different tests were
carried out the likes of the TGA test to determine different physical properties of spent coffee grounds.
The results from the different activities indicated that the spent coffee grounds are available in quantities
sufficient to sustain different reuses as well as the profitability in starting a business around the
manufacture of coffee logs for sale. | en_US |
