At Coffeefrom, we are bridging the gap between coffee waste and sustainable materials. We collect spent coffee grounds from nearby industries, stock them up, and transform them into innovative polymers. Our materials are ever-evolving through cutting-edge R&D strategies to meet the needs of countless new applications. Our mission is to promote circularity in the coffee supply chain through a model of industrial symbiosis. Working with fragile people, we brew a greener world for all.
The project fosters a culture of memory and promotes the multicultural heritage of Galicia in Ukraine.
