Sustainable Valorization of Spent Coffee Grounds: A Green Chemistry Approach to Soil Amendment and Environmental Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Nowadays, soil is deteriorating at an alarming rate, endangering both land fertility and productivity and thus the world's food supply. Using bulk available spent coffee ground (SCG) solid wastes to enrich and amend the deteriorating soil might be revolutionary because it would assist with its correct disposal and lessen the problems related to environmental contamination and human health. The blend of traditional practices and modern technologies can manage SCG's waste economically, efficiently, and sustainably. The current review article focuses on the potential uses of wasted coffee grounds to improve soil fertility, water-holding capacity, residue management, seed germination, crop growth, and yields. The ability of SCG to amend soil depends upon the nature of SCG (fresh, compost, verm
