Coffee Bloom

Beginning in 2022, Coffee Bloom is a newly established project at Enactus UvA. Currently in the developing phase, Coffee Bloom aims to find a sustainable approach to recycling used coffee grounds, with the purpose of creating more sustainable fertilizer in the Netherlands

Business Idea

CoffeeBloom is a sustainable business idea that leverages the by-products of coffee brewing to create organic fertilizers. By utilizing the discarded coffee grounds, Coffee Bloom helps reduce waste and provides a natural, eco-friendly alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers. By promoting the use of organic fertilizers, Coffee Bloom is contributing to a greener, healthier environment and is promoting sustainable agriculture practices. This innovative solution offers a win-win for coffee drinkers and farmers alike, as it helps reduce waste and improves soil quality.

These substances, which include methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and nitrogen, are significant contributors to the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This results in a significant impact on global warming and climate change.


The project contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
