Long description
Project Summary: Coffeco’s mission is to give second life to the most beloved beverage, our coffee! Globally, 6 million tons of coffee-waste remain untapped every year, because the coffee makers and municipalities manage this waste as a common waste. Coffeco has designed and developed a holistic approach in order to reuse 100% of the coffee waste (zero-waste approach) and produce various high value-added products. Moreover, we follow good collection strategies and innovative low-energy consumption manufacturing technologies. Three different products based on circular economy of coffee waste have been developed:
After two years of research and development, we have developed a zero-waste fabrication process based on coffee-waste that produces three high added value and environmentally friendly products.
- Coffeco Board: The Spent Coffee Ground leads to a dried particulate material which is used further as a filler for the production of bio-based composite materials, in the form of panels. The produced panels can be used in furniture, lighting and interior design (wall covering & flooring), as well as in various special applications.
