What's ECOFFEE?

ECOFFEE is a pilot project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme. Its goal is to give a second life to coffee waste from vending machines and the HORECA sector.

Through a collaborative approach between companies, research centres and innovation entities, ECOFFEE transforms coffee grounds into natural ingredients for biocides and animal feed, contributing to the circular economy and the European Green Deal.

♻️

Valorization of Coffee Waste

We transform coffee grounds from the HORECA and vending sectors into ingredients for animal feed and natural biocides, reducing environmental impact.

🧪

Innovating in biocides and feed

The antimicrobial and repellent properties of spent coffee ground make it an ideal base for natural biocides (e.g. larvicides and repellents), offering an alternative to synthetic formulations.

🌿

Sustainable and Natural Products

Our coffee-derived products are eco-friendly and promote responsible practices in the food and agricultural industries.
