Nãm Fungi Factory will triple mushroom production using Delta coffee grounds

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:30

Nãm Fungi Factory will triple mushroom production using Delta coffee grounds as a substrate for cultivation. This expansion represents a significant increase in the company's production capacity in the mushroom sector.

The company aims not only to increase production, but also to demonstrate that it is possible to produce food at scale within cities. The model implemented by Nãm Fungi Factory is based on a circular approach, where coffee waste is transformed into food.

This initiative arises in the context of growing demand for more sustainable food solutions and with lower environmental impact. The use of coffee grounds as raw material for mushroom cultivation allows giving a new life to a widely generated waste, contributing to waste reduction.

Why this matters

This expansion represents an opportunity for consumers in the region to have access to locally produced food sustainably. The circular model demonstrates how coffee waste can be transformed into food, contributing to reduce waste and the carbon footprint associated with food transport.
