Coffee Waste is a very adaptable waste product that can be manipulated for many uses, like clothes, soil management, and in this case briquettes for heating. Capriole purposes a partnership with roasters, by using their existing infrastructures and exploring a scalable and achievable solution for turning coffee waste into a business opportunity. This solution solves the energy that coffee leaves behind by extending the life of coffee waste, operating in industrial symbiosis - not only doing well for the environment but providing a lifeline to roasters to be part of the circular economy. Not only that but these innovative briquettes are more advantageous by supplying a longer burning time than wood.

Based on available studies, 4.98 kg CO2 is carbon footprint per kg of coffee produced, the waste all goes into landfills. When coffee roasters are motivated to work with a refill-pickup system, a scalable way to collect waste is accomplished when they deliver coffee. In addition, to create an industrial symbiosis, the production of these coffee briquettes is a lot more sustainable than regular ones.

Capriole creates and promotes a sustainable heating system and economy. The idea of creating a solution to climate ambitious coffee producers is a win-win circumstance to consider - including them in the process and sharing a profitable business opportunity. Besides, it solves one key pain point in sustainability adaptation by feeding an individual the opportunity to become more environmentally conscious, and not require an extreme behavioral change.
