One Circle & the Nolet Grind

Chef Yotam Ottolenghi once said "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Both an inspirational quote and an important mindset to live by. Every year we turn endless amounts of useful ingredients into trash for no apparent reason. Through a bit of creativity, together we can grow a stronger community and move towards a more sustainable world. This is the One Circle Ketel One project.

The One Circle Ketel One project is a local platform where bars and restaurants can trade unused produce that we normally throw away on a daily basis. On this platform you can post your requests for produce, share recipes, and offer ingredients you are willing to donate or trade.

We strive to grow a stronger community where we can inspire and encourage each other and maybe even turn strangers into friends.

Sweden is the top 10 coffee consumers in the world, this is why I have chosen to use leftover coffee grounds in my signature cocktail, Nolet Grind. During this process I re-use coffee grounds to create the Nolet Grind coffee syrup. Thereafter I dehydrate the grounds and package them into a sustainable body scrub. These free packages are marked with a QR-code that led to a donation to the non-profit organization "We Effect". Through the One Circle Ketel One project we can help lower the carbon footprint one step at a time, starting with one small idea and one small, discarded seed.
