Recycling of coffee grounds

In daily life, it's common to see people holding a cup of coffee, but many are unaware of the environmental impact of the coffee grounds generated in the process. Coffee grounds, once discarded, become an invisible ecological threat. They cannot be easily recycled, and if large amounts are buried in the soil, they can produce greenhouse gases, causing serious harm to the environment.

Can coffee grounds be used to make recycled goods? Yes, coffee grounds can be used to make incense for temple offerings, for outdoor camping in the form of mosquito coils, and, most recently, used to make soap. Recycled coffee products not only meet the government's "sustainable environmental standards" but also make a small contribution to environmental protection and natural ecology.

咖啡渣的回收再利用

生活中，隨處可見人手一杯咖啡，但大家卻不曉得製成咖啡所生成的咖啡渣背後，其實是個對環境有害的隱形殺手。咖啡渣是無法被回收使用的，如果大量咖啡渣被掩埋在土裡的話，日後還會產生溫室氣體，對環境造成嚴重傷害。

如何運用咖啡渣製成循環經濟商品？專門為廟宇使用、信徒祭拜的「咖啡渣線香」；戶外露營專用的「咖啡渣蚊香」，以及最近剛研發出的「咖啡渣香皂」。利用咖啡渣做回收再利用，二次循環經濟商品非但已達到政府所推的「永續環境指標」，同時也為環境保護與自然生態付出了小小心力。
