Recycling Nespresso coffee grinds to help Swiss vineyard soil

Swiss wine is one of the country’s best-kept secrets, a byproduct of the fact that only around 1% of Switzerland’s 100 million litres produced annually is actually exported.

On the shores of Lake Geneva, where vineyards are now bustling with workers gathering grapes from this year’s harvest, vineyard owners have been harnessing usedNespresso coffee grounds to supplement their soils with nitrogen and to prevent erosion.

The spent coffee from recycled Nespresso capsules are combined with organic matter to make fertiliser.
