Who is Wastespresso?
Did you know that more than two billion cups of Coffee are consumed every day? Despite being the third most consumed beverage in the world, 98% of the coffee produced goes to a landfill after only a cup of enjoyment. And throwing away grounds is not merely a waste; it actively harms the environment by releasing methane gas into the atmosphere while decomposing. Tons of coffee waste each year goes from being a resource we can use to a problem that accelerates climate change.


That is the point the story of Wastespresso begins.
That is how the story of Wastespresso begins. Our founders saw firsthand all the coffee waste generated while they were working as baristas while studying at university. This brought forth the question: “Why is coffee discarded so easily when it is so precious?” This question ignited a spark which led us to search for a solution.
We started to examine the structure of coffee. Then we realized that its cellulosic structure is the perfect candidate for bio composite materials. Through our arduous R&D process, we developed an optimized formula that creates strong bonds in a molecular level that doesn’t compromise on performance. Today, as an expert company on biomaterials and polymers, we reintroduce coffee grounds back into the economy by giving them a second chance.


This solution is not the end of our story, we have our vision. Our purpose is to not just completely eliminate coffee waste, but to use it to reduce the consumption of many traditional materials such as plastic that harm the earth. As an “environmental impact venture” we wish to create a sustainable world by increasing our emission savings each year.
Bio composite materials is only the first solution we generated in our journey. We continue to generate circular products and solutions by utilizing coffee’s functional properties and its worldwide appeal.
As Wastespresso, we generate solutions that give coffee a second chance while also allowing nature to breathe a sigh of relief. We only have one earth; we know its value and we are ready to do everything we can to bring change. Ready to join our journey of transformation to become a part of this story?
