5.5 tons of coffee grounds was collected by a Belgian company every month. Mushrooms were grown from the coffee grounds. They use the mushroom to make insulation tiles. The remains of the mushrooms were made into a material which replaced plastic. This was done to help to solve the problem of wasting too many things. Usually, these mushrooms take 15 days to grow. They were put in small bags to grow. By 2025, the company wanted to make 13 tons of these tiles.
