here in York, many of us will be thinking about starting to turn the heating
on. For those who use domestic wood burners and multi-fuel stoves, perhaps a
coffee log could offer a more sustainable form of heating than a regular log.
Bio-bean, a recycler of spent coffee grounds, produce these compact fire logs
made from recycled waste coffee grounds and they are soon to be supplied with a
lot more waste coffee grounds. London Stansted Airport are to start recycling
all their waste coffee grounds after a successful trial period with bio-bean.
Recycling coffee grounds in this way at Stansted Airport is expected to prevent
over 150 tonnes a year of coffee waste heading to landfill, reducing
associated emissions by up to 80%. As a bonus for staff and the local
community, the first 2,000 logs produced from this new waste-stream will be
given away for free to mark the occasion. Biogas in Ireland is set to play a vital role in
reducing carbon emissions by 2050. Gas Networks Ireland with its parent company
Ervia plan to reduce emissions by a third, by creating.........
