Feasibility study on the re-use of residual coffee.

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.
