Coffeefrom® Bio

by Coffeefrom Srl SIAVS · Italy · ONA967 · Published 20 Mar 2023
About this material

Coffeeform’s first material, 100% biodegradable, consisting of coffee grounds of industrial origin (10-20% in variable composition) mixed with a biopolymer, PLA. It was born thanks to scientific research in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry “Giulio Natta” of the Politecnico di Milano and Fondazione Politecnico di Milano.

Thanks to its renewable and organic nature, Coffeefrom® Bio is 100% biodegradable, suitable for injection moulding and 3D printing in multiple application fields. These include packaging, automotive, tableware and service products. On the final injection moulded products, Coffeefrom® Bio shows the natural imperfections of coffee. The material, born with its own history, already has a “tanned” colour and a grit always slightly different.
