PROCESSING COFFEE GROUNDS FOR PLANT POTS DESIGN

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to experiment and discover coffee grounds-forming
techniques. For use as a guideline for designing plant pots. The research methods include
studying and analyzing coffee grounds data. Principles of designing plant pots from coffee
grounds. By studying sources Research articles, including data obtained from research on
Internet media, are then analyzed and summarized to guide experiments and design. Materials
that can be used to bind coffee grounds include damar and lime by mixing coffee grounds with
damar and lime in different ratios and using powder grout poured between layers. The process
creates a unique product, and experiments have shown that a large ratio of binders is required
for the coffee grounds to form and not cause the grounds to fall off. But in this research, which
is processed into houseplants, the crumbly coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer for plants in
the area and can be used to repel pests and ants. In addition to processing waste, it also creates
added value.
