Although there are records of scientific research that evaluate the composting of
coffee grounds associated with other organic wastes (Adi and Noor 2009; Fonseca
2012; Zibetti et al. 2015) the results show that no work was found that specifically
reports adding value to coffee grounds by means of composting and its registration in
the format of manuals or booklets of scientific disclosure, whether on a large or small
scale. This underscores the importance of scientific dissemination and environmental
education focusing on composting and valorization of coffee grounds is a challenge
and can contribute to the achievement of the goals 4 and 11 of UN 2030 Agenda.
7 Conclusion and Recommendations
The dissemination of acquired knowledge about the environment, circular economy
and sustainability has intensified with the help of the media. Among these media is
the internet, which manages to bring a great amount of information to all parts of the
globe. Composting biotechnology appears as a way to reuse and value organic waste
generated in different environments. This technique has received great prominence,
being disseminated in several ways, mainly through the internet.
Analyzing the bibliographic survey found in the searches with the afore mentioned
languages and key words, it is noticed that for the adopted timeframe of 25 years,
materials in the Portuguese language presents the greater number of materials. For
this language, most scientific technical production has the priority of informing the
public that perform the composting on a large scale, that is, producers and companies
with large generation of solid organic waste.
For the English language, of the 15 works, 10 are focused on the small scale,
that is, showing greater concern about composting with small amounts of waste,
for example, in residences and households, contributing to the construction of more
resilient cities and accordance with UN 2030 Agenda.
In the Spanish language, there is a spreading among its speaking countries.
Spain demonstrated great prominence, with the production of 10 works of the 16
in this research. Among the 10 works, seven have focused on large-scale composting, demonstrating as well as in English, greater concern in the audience related to
family environments and, or with small numbers of people. These results reflect the
efforts that have been directed toward building a more conscious and sustainable
society.
In all languages, it has been noticed that the main form of dissemination varies
according to the target audience. If the focus is large-scale producers, the main
dissemination is through the internet, which can reach several locations at the same
time. However, when the focus is small scale, institutional or school environments,
the main form of dissemination is the delivery through physical media.
Several institutions have practiced composting, allied to the maintenance of vegetable gardens, with excellent results for the integration of students, employees and
collaborators, helping in the environmental awareness of its users. Many of these
organizations are organic solid waste generators and the adoption of sustainable
