Why Coffee?

Every year, 9 million tons of coffee beans are produced worldwide. Upon examining this material, of which 98% is discarded, we discovered that its structural properties could be used to reduce plastic and wood consumption. We cannot allow this valuable resource to go to waste.
We are redesigning our relationship with coffee.


Bean to Green
Coffee grounds are not a waste product anymore. Our team visits your offices, gathering the coffee grounds you collected in our bins that week and transforms them into sustainable biomaterials. At the end of each month, you get an impact report on the collected coffee amount and emission reduction that adheres to the ISO 14064 standards.
Ready to create groundbreaking environmental benefit with your coffee grounds?


Biomaterials
Forget everything you know about materials. We can reduce your business’ yearly plastic consumption by up to 30% with the bio-composite materials we produced utilizing coffee’s structural properties. Hitting the mark on your sustainability targets without compromising material quality isn’t impossible anymore.
Generate environmental benefit by producing your goods with biomaterials today.


Circular Products
Now, anything is possible with coffee grounds. We produce cups, mugs, trays and anything your organization might need with our circular biomaterial that contains coffee grounds. With each manufactured product, we reduce your company’s carbon emissions, thus investing in the future. We can even manufacture products from your coffee grounds.
Brew change with us by using circular products.

Hear about us from our stakeholders
Thanks to the collaboration we started with Wastespresso in 2024, we started to produce the measuring spoon of OKKA Turkish coffee machine with biocomposite material converted from coffee grounds. With this project, we both made a positive contribution to the environmental impact of our products and took a pioneering step towards circular economy in the plastics sector. Every year, we introduce Turkish Coffee and our coffee culture to more than 60 countries in the world with Okka. Thanks to Okka's inspiring circular story, we will now proudly share with these countries that coffee grounds can also have a second chance.

With its sustainability vision, Wastespresso recycles the spent coffee grounds accumulated in our headquarters. These wastes are transformed into different materials with environmentally friendly methods, contributing to the circular economy. Our collaboration allows us to share not only the pleasure of coffee, but also our responsibility to nature.

As of 2024, we have started to collect our coffee waste separately in collaboration with Wastepresso. Although many different steps have been added to our operational processes, the motivation to increase our positive impact always motivates us in this collaboration. Such recycling & recovery opportunities are very valuable for companies like us with a large number of employees and a proportionally large amount of waste. In our sustainability journey, which we set out with the vision of "Be a part of the transformation", we continue to develop activities that will reduce our environmental footprint without slowing down. We would also like to thank the Wastepresso family who accompanied us on this path.
