George May

As Co-Director and CCO at bio-bean – the UK-based coffee recycling company – George has overall responsibility for the company’s commercial strategy and implementation across collection of spent coffee, as well as product development, sales, distribution and marketing.

Since 2015 George has overseen the launch of their innovative solid fuel products to market, including the bestselling winter fuel, Coffee Logs. He built a supply chain that works for thousands of UK businesses, at every scale, and was integral to the launch and initial sales of bio-bean’s latest development – a coffee flavour extract from spent grounds. George and the team are now working on building partnerships for incorporating dried, recycled grounds into bioplastics and composites.
