The story of EcoBean: Brewing sustainable innovation from coffee grounds.

In the heart of Poland, EcoBean is paving the way for a sustainable future by reducing theEcoBean environmental impact within the coffee and chemical industry. Coffee grounds are a very valuable raw material, which is currently mostly diverted to landfills.

A proud spin-off of the Warsaw University of Technology, EcoBean is committed to is to close the loop on coffee and introducing SCG-derived chemicals with the lowest carbon footprint possible. EcoBean's solution combines cutting-edge biotechnological innovation, a commitment to positive environmental impact, and a business-driven approach.

EcoBean operates at the exciting intersection of technology and environmental stewardship. Their unique business model involves collecting spent coffee grounds (SCGs) and processing them into five fractions of chemicals that can be used in various industrial segments, including cosmetics, pharma, food, feed or packaging.
