Coffee Grounds to Concrete: Australian Scientists' Innovative Solution
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Australian scientists at RMIT University have discovered a groundbreaking use for coffee grounds: turning burnt coffee grounds into biochar, a material that strengthens concrete by 30% when used as a sand substitute. This innovative approach reduces the demand for natural sand, lowers carbon footprint, and has better environmental impacts. The first real-world application of this coffee biochar concrete has already taken place in Australia, and the research team is actively engaging with the construction industry to explore more projects.
