Coffee production generates a lot of waste products. Once coffee beans are separated from cherries, about 45% of the entire biomass is discarded. Researchers dumped tons of that coffee waste into a forest. The benefits ranged from reducing greenhouse gases to increasing biodiversity. https://www.upworthy.com/researchers-dumped-tons-of-coffee-waste-in-a-forest-rp5
