- This paper is the first to report on the use of microwave radiation for the conversion of waste coffee grounds to nanocarbon particles, demonstrating a potentially sustainable source of nanocarbons from agricultural waste. R Meadley & Sons (part of Brown and Co) are interested in exploiting this technique commercially and recently funded further work (rob.meadley@brown-co.com). They also collaborated on a second larger Connecting Capability Fund project to investigate how the approach might be scaled up and commercialized for pea biomass (https://thyme.biovale.org/2020/02/17/almost-1-million-of-funding-secured-for-bioeconomy-research/).
