Nestlé USA is helping to safeguard the environment through pollution prevention and control, energy conservation and recycling/solid waste management practices. For example, our Freehold, New Jersey beverage factory has found a unique way to capture available energy and avoid waste, capitalising on the fact that coffee grounds can have as much as 25% more energy capacity than wood when combusted. The factory works with a producer of fi replace logs, “Java Log®”, who use Nestlé’s spent coffee grounds to produce and market “coffee firelogs” for use in domestic fireplaces. This is an efficient, cost-effective and environmentally sound waste management solution for Nestlé, a source of raw materials for the “Java Log®” manufacturer, and an alternative energy choice for “Java Log®” consumers.
