Each year, 60 million tons of coffee waste, including spent grounds and off-specification beans, are discarded, contributing to CO₂ emissions and resource inefficiency. Caffe Inc. offers a 100% circular solution, transforming coffee by-products into eco-friendly ingredients like Upcycled Coffee Oil, Upcycled Coffee Blocks, and Upcycled Coffee Ink, while reducing CO₂ emissions.
“Caffe Inc. is dedicated to creating a world without coffee waste. Using green technology, we transform spent coffee grounds and other coffee by-products into high-value, eco-friendly ingredients for the personal care, food, and textile industries. Our solutions replace virgin raw materials, reduces CO₂ emissions and helps industries achieve their sustainability goals. Building on a successful Demo phase, we are now scaling operations to process 850 tons annually, driving sustainable practices across the sectors.
The world generates vast amounts of coffee waste annually, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Caffe Inc.’s 100% circular process transforms coffee by-products into high-quality coffee oil, natural colorants, and cellulose-rich material, providing sustainable alternatives to fossil based-materials across multiple industries while significantly reducing waste and emissions.
During the Circular Factory program, we aim to learn from like-minded entrepreneurs & experts and strengthen our circular economy network.

No pitching, just honest, vulnerable conversations about the realities of capital-intensive scaling.
