Goal
RotterZwam grows edible mushrooms in the middle of the city on organic residual material. For this, they use, among other things, the coffee grounds from the local catering industry.
By growing on organic residual material, they contribute to the reuse of "waste". Instead of being sent to the incinerator, RotterZwam's mushrooms break down the organic material and return it to nature as humus or compost.
