5.5 tons of coffee grounds was collected by a Belgian company, PermaFungi, every month. Mushrooms were grown from the coffee grounds. The company used coffee grounds and mushrooms to make insulation tiles. The coffee ground and parts of the mushroom are mixed in a large drum. This mixture is later put into small bags. Fifteen days later, the mushrooms are harvested. Remain of the mushroom is used to replace plastic. By 2025, the company wanted to make 13 tons of these tiles. The whole world has been attracted by this as this is a solution to control waste.
