A biopolymer technology made with industrially derived coffee grounds blended with PLA.
RESOURCES
Coffeefrom Bio is a biopolymer composed of 10–20% industrial coffee grounds blended with PLA (polylactic acid). It can be used for injection molding and 3D printing in applications like packaging, automotive parts, tableware, and service products. The material retains the natural imperfections and color of coffee grounds, giving a unique, organic aesthetic.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Coffeefrom Bio is 100% biodegradable, repurposes coffee industry waste, and is based on renewable PLA, reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics. The product supports circular economy principles by giving a second life to coffee grounds.
HUMAN HEALTH
The material is non-toxic, safe to handle during manufacturing, and free from harmful additives. Its PLA base is generally recognized as safe for consumer and food-contact applications.
SOCIAL EQUITY
Made in Italy, Coffeefrom Bio promotes research-based innovation and collaboration with local universities, supporting skilled jobs and local scientific development. Its production contributes to a socially responsible circular economy by valorizing industrial waste.
