bio-bean is the world's largest spent coffee ground (SCG) recycling company, currently processing c.7,500 tonnes of SCG per annum. SCG is a high-volume waste problem in the order of over 500,000 tonnes in the UK alone. SCG contains a variety of valuable residual chemical compounds which are currently being combusted in our solid biofuel products (pellets and briquettes (Coffee Logs)). To date bio-bean has been successful in extracting the flavour and fragrance (F&F) compounds from the SCG to produce an F&F proof of concept product. These F&F products are complimentary to the solid biofuel products but have a considerably higher sales price per tonne of SCG used in their manufacture, meaning their commercialisation can give bio-bean a major profitability boost allowing further expansion and greater opportunities to recycle SCG. The F&F products are likely to be used as ingredients in the food beverage (F&B) sector (specifically the ready to drink beverage market) which is growing and estimated to be worth $9bn globally. The project enables bio-bean to complete the late stage R&D required to commercialise the F&F products. bio-bean will manufacture its first two F&F products, an aqueous and lipid based natural flavour, through third party tolling companies and sell these products to its potential customers (F&F houses, product manufacturers and distributors), demonstrating market demand for disruptive, sustainable and innovative products from SCG. Successful demonstration of scaled production and market will enable bio-bean to invest in its own F&F product extraction and processing plant in the UK, to be sited alongside its solid biofuel plant, creating operational synergies, jobs, profits, CO2e savings and a reduction in the harmful effects of virgin coffee bean farming/petrochemical synthesis.

生物豆是世界上最大的废咖啡渣（SCG）回收公司，目前处理约7,500吨SCG每年。SCG是一个高容量的废物问题，仅在英国就超过50万吨。SCG含有各种有价值的残留化合物，目前正在我们的固体生物燃料产品（颗粒和团块（咖啡豆））中燃烧。到目前为止，生物豆已经成功地从SCG中提取风味和香味（F&F）化合物，以生产F&F概念验证产品。这些F&F产品是固体生物燃料产品的补充，但在其制造中使用的每吨SCG的销售价格要高得多，这意味着它们的商业化可以为生物豆带来重大的盈利能力提升，从而允许进一步扩张和更大的机会回收SCG。F&F产品很可能用作食品饮料（F&B）行业（特别是即饮饮料市场）的配料，该市场正在增长，估计全球价值90亿美元。该项目使bio-bean能够完成将F&F产品商业化所需的后期研发。bio-bean将通过第三方收费公司生产其前两种F&F产品，一种基于水和脂质的天然香料，并将这些产品销售给其潜在客户（F&F房屋，产品制造商和分销商），展示市场对SCG颠覆性，可持续和创新产品的需求。规模化生产和市场的成功示范将使bio-bean能够在英国投资自己的F&F产品提取和加工工厂，与其固体生物燃料工厂一起选址，创造运营协同效应，就业机会，利润，CO2 e节约和减少原始咖啡豆种植/石化合成的有害影响。
