Most of this waste is burnt or sent to landfill, causing a huge environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the livestock sector, a major emitter of greenhouse gases, is looking for more sustainable and cost-effective ingredients in animal diets to ensure its long-term sustainability, as it is highly dependent on the market for soybean meal and cereal, mostly imported from third countries (US and Ukraine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these challenges, the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecoffeed.azti.es\/?lang=es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Life-ECOFFEED<\/a> project, coordinated by the AZTI technology centre, was launched in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As a result of this initiative, a new safe, nutritious, competitive and environmentally friendly ingredient has been created for dairy cattle, such as sheep and cows, which incorporates coffee grounds recovered from the HORECA sector&#8221;, highlights David San Martin, AZTI&#8217;s expert in the recovery of by-products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, different pilot tests have been carried out in which between 10% and 15% of coffee grounds, recovered from the HORECA sector, have been incorporated as part of the diet of cows and sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trials have shown that these alternative feeds not only do not negatively affect animal production or milk quality, but even, in the case of sheep (research on the influence on cows is still ongoing), can reduce methane emissions from the livestock sector by 20%, contributing to the sustainability of the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n                        <picture class=\"image default\">\n                                <source media=\"(min-width: 993px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca.jpg\"\/>    \n                <source media=\"(min-width: 769px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca.jpg\"\/>\n                <source media=\"(min-width: 451px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca-768x513.jpg\"\/>\n                <source media=\"(min-width: 0)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca-450x300.jpg\"\/>\n                                    <img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.azti.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"poso_cafe_valorizacion_azti_horeca\"\/>\n                            <\/picture>\n            \n\n\n\n<h2><strong><strong>Focus on the HORECA sector<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative led by AZTI offers a circular economy solution to maximise the value of coffee by-products specifically in the HORECA sector, as the waste generated in households does not meet the hygiene standards required to be used in animal feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, an efficient logistics system has been defined and developed to collect coffee grounds and process and adapt them as a healthy and safe ingredient. This strategy also considers how to recover used coffee capsules. &#8220;The organic fraction of these capsules has been used for producing biomass to function as fuel in the drying processes of coffee grounds for animal diets. On the other hand, the inorganic fraction, composed of plastic and aluminium, is used to produce other materials such as the coffee grounds storage containers themselves,&#8221; explains San Mart\u00edn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This overall process provides the feed production industry with a new, more economical and sustainable component. This increases competitiveness and reduces dependency on conventional raw materials, while at the same time benefiting society by contributing to environmental protection, promoting sustainable production and reducing the impact on climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life-ECOFFEED, which is due to end in March 2024, is 55% funded by the EU&#8217;s LIFE Environment and Resource Efficiency programme and has a budget of \u20ac1.5 million.
