EcoBean is the most advanced coffee waste processor with a scientific background. We turn coffee waste into sustainable chemicals. We are a tech company with a mission to reduce coffee waste and decrease the environmental footprint of the entire coffee value chain.

Coffee is a cherished morning tradition for many, but the environmental impact of the coffee industry cannot be ignored. Coffee is the fifth most CO2-intensive food product, emphasizing the significant carbon footprint associated with its production.

To put this into perspective, approximately 2.5 billion cups of coffee are consumed every day globally, which generates a staggering 25,000 tonnes of coffee waste annually. Just in Europe, 9,000 tonnes of SCG are wasted every day.

At EcoBean, we're committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. While we acknowledge that the coffee industry has a significant carbon footprint, we also recognize the untapped potential of Spent Coffee Grounds. Rather than seeing them as mere waste, we view them as a valuable resource that can be transformed into advanced, sustainable chemicals.

Our innovative process allows us to extract five different fractions from Spent Coffee Grounds: coffee oil, antioxidants, lactic acid (PLA), lignin, and protein additives. These fractions can be used in a multitude of industries, including biodiesel additives, cosmetics, and the production of biodegradable cups, straws, pots, tiles, and plates.

Our chemicals not only serve as high-quality alternatives to existing intermediates on the market, but they also boast up to 50% lower carbon footprint on average. This makes our offerings the most sustainable choice available, meeting the increasing demand for low carbon raw materials. By upcycling spent coffee grounds, we're not only reducing waste, but also contributing to a more sustainable future.
