Coffeefrom is an innovative start-up with a social vocation, an innovative project that gives new life to spent coffee grounds by creating new innovative materials.

Coffeefrom transforms spent coffee grounds from the food industry into recycled and biobased thermoplastic materials, giving new life to material generally considered waste and consequently reducing the input of new raw materials into the plastic supply chain.

To date, Coffeefrom has created five different materials, each with specific characteristics and to exemplify the possible applications of its materials, Coffeefrom has created a few design products, such as the Coffeefrom Coffee Cup. Coffeefrom also holds a patent for an advanced extraction process that will enable materials to contain up to 50% coffee by incorporating cellulose and nano-cellulose derived from coffee waste,
which is the focus of our current research.

While we are currently active in Italy, we are in conversation with several partners across Europe and are actively looking to expand our presence in the European market through strategic collaborations and knowledge exchange.
