Abstract

This study examines the potential of coffee grounds as an environmentally friendly odor-absorbing camphor material. Coffee grounds are known to contain active compounds such as polyphenols, caffeine, and essential oils that can absorb odors and bind gaseous compounds such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Literature studies from various studies show that coffee grounds are effective for use in the deodorization process, either in the form of activated charcoal, dry powder, or used directly without activation. The use of coffee grounds as an odor absorber offers a low-cost solution and can help reduce organic waste. The study results show that the application of coffee grounds can be applied to various objects that produce odors, such as closed spaces and waste disposal areas. The potential for its use in the manufacture of environmentally friendly camphor is enormous and can be further developed into innovative products
