From Cup to Compost
By transforming used coffee grounds into Carbon Gro Coffee Compost Soil Improver, we actively support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact. The UK produces over 500,000 tonnes of coffee waste every year, much of which is sent to landfill where it releases methane—25 times more damaging than CO₂.
By recycling 8,000 tonnes of coffee waste annually, we prevent around 8,700 tonnes of harmful emissions compared to conventional landfill disposal.
Perfect For
Flowers, trees, shrubs, vegetable beds, fruit plots, and general soil improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Carbon Gro Coffee Compost Soil Improver?
Carbon Gro Coffee Compost Soil Improver is a nutrient-rich, peat-free soil enhancer made from recycled coffee grounds and matured organic materials. It improves soil structure, boosts fertility, and provides slow-release nutrients for healthier plant growth.
Is this compost safe to use on all plants?
Yes. It’s safe and highly effective for flowers, shrubs, trees, fruit plants, and vegetable beds. It’s gentle, organic, and suitable for most garden soils.
How do I use it to improve soil structure?
Spread a 3–4 cm layer over the soil and work it into the top 15–20 cm using a fork. This enhances drainage in clay soils and improves structure in sandy soils.
Can I use it as a mulch?
Absolutely. Apply a 4–5 cm layer around plants to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and gradually enrich the soil as it breaks down.
Is it really made from recycled coffee grounds?
Yes. We recycle around 8,000 tonnes of used coffee grounds each year, turning them into high-quality compost and reducing harmful emissions compared to landfill disposal. The grounds are carefully blended with green organic compost along with some wood fibres too.
Is Carbon Gro Coffee Compost Soil Improver peat-free?
Yes. It is 100% peat-free and PAS100 certified, making it environmentally friendly and safe for garden ecosystems.
Will it help reduce how often I need to water?
Yes. The compost improves moisture retention, helping soil stay hydrated for longer and reducing the frequency of watering.
Does it smell like coffee?
No. During the composting and maturation process, the coffee grounds lose their original smell and take on the earthy aroma typical of finished compost.
Can I use it in pots and containers?
You can mix small amounts into potting soil to improve structure, but it’s not a standalone potting mix. It’s best used as a soil improver or mulch.
How should I store it once opened?
Keep leftover compost inside the original bag, resealed tightly. Store in a cool, ventilated, and sheltered area such as a garden shed.
Is it safe to handle?
Yes, but we recommend wearing gardening gloves, using it in a well-ventilated space, and avoiding inhalation of dry compost dust. Lightly moisten if necessary.
What makes this product environmentally friendly?
By recycling coffee waste and keeping it out of landfill, this compost reduces methane emissions, supports a circular economy, and offers a peat-free alternative to traditional composts.
