A SECOND LIFE FOR COFFEE GROUNDS
In Italy, about 360,000 tons of coffee funds are produced and, despite many initiatives and proposals on their reuse, in fact more than 96% still remain a waste. The circularity of the process is the key to converting 100% of the coffee funds.
CAFFERIKKO® is a network that unites various professional and institutional partners by circulating the process. With spent coffee it is possible, properly processed and managed, to create new raw materials or finished products. The project stems from the realization that to date there is no structured and integratedsystem, starting from the separate collection and recycling of spent coffee in all its variants up to processing, including transport.
