Thermoplastic bioplastics made from upcycled coffee grounds, transforming food industry waste into sustainable materials for packaging, automotive, and consumer products while reducing landfill impact and emissions.
Tackling Coffee Waste: 20 Million Tons and Counting
10-20 Mt
of coffee waste is produced annually worldwide
Every year, more than 90% - 20 million tons - of components used in coffee and coffee-flavored products are discarded as waste worldwide. Especially from coffee used in the food industry, this waste often finds its way to landfills, generating CO2 emissions and an environmental challenge that highlights the urgency to find sustainable solutions for coffee waste management.
Turning Coffee Grounds into Innovative Bioplastics
Coffeefrom's innovative bio-based thermoplastic materials suitable for injection molding are partly composed of coffee grounds from the food industry.
The resulting pellets can be integrated into various applications, from automotive components to tableware, promotional items, and more.
Reducing CO2 Emissions with Coffee-Based Bioplastics
20%
reduction in virgin fossil material use
This solution transforms coffee waste into a crucial component of a thermoplastic material. It extends the lifespan of coffee waste, reducing CO2 emissions associated with landfill disposal, and lessens the plastic industry's carbon footprint, decreasing dependence on virgin fossil-based plastic materials in production processes.
Coffeefrom offers sustainable bioplastics for:
- Chain of coffeehouses
- Furniture manufacturers
- Fashion apparel and accessories
- Housewares and kitchen utensil company
- Automotive industry
The benefits of Coffeefrom sustainable bioplastic
By valuing coffee waste rather than disposing of it, companies in the food industry can achieve an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions, and compounders adopting coffee waste as an input in their production process can decrease their CO2 emissions by 20%. This approach fosters a more sustainable manufacturing process, demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility while maintaining high-quality production standards.
