A lot, as it turns out. So we decided to do something about it. We needed a way to give those coffee grounds a new lease of life. And UpCircle was born. Since then, we\u2019ve saved approximately 35 tonnes of coffee from landfill, based on our current growth rates we estimate that we will have saved an additional 1000 tonnes in the next 5 years.
