Coffee Composite 1

This is a mouldable biobased material made from spent coffee grounds, coffee husk, potato starch, glycerine and water. This recipe makes it easy to create 3D shapes that hold their form well. It is pressed into 3D printed moulds and dried using a dehydrator.

Although this material is less strong and rigid, it is well-suited for creating more detailed, three-dimensional designs. It is 100% natural, biodegradable, and made entirely from organic waste. In the From Waste to Wonder workshops, children use this material to craft imaginative toys and objects, while learning about sustainability and creative reuse.
