Okotoks-based Groundup Eco-Ventures focuses on upcycling two products -- coffee grounds and spent grain.

Shawn Leggett, who owns the company, has developed a process to remove the valuable oils from the products, dry them and grind them into flower."So it's high-protein, high-fibre, the skincare products, the extracts that we make, all have benefits for your skin, so we make things that are good for you and good for the planet."He says upcycling is taking something that is considered waste and re-purposing it."Globally, upcycling is really taking off," Leggett said.

"There's small companies like ours that are doing it. There's some bigger companies that are working on more finite things like protein extractions and stuff." "I'm not fighting the brewery for barley -- the brewery can go buy their barley and then I'll work with the brewery on the end," he said. In terms of coffee, Leggett says 300 million kilograms of beans are imported every year to brew coffee and then get thrown out.
