Aiming for a sustainable future 💚
Our mission is to promote the circular economy by repurposing used coffee grounds into environmentally friendly products that make people’s lives easier.
Our vision for the future is to make recycling coffee grounds a part of Finland’s circular economy and to reuse all coffee grounds that would otherwise end up as waste.
We are committed to preserving the planet’s natural resources for future generations.
Where it all began
Bahez used to spend a lot of time in cafés with his wife. At the end of their visits, they would ask the staff where the coffee grounds ended up, and the answer was always the same – they went to biowaste. Bahez took the used grounds with him and developed a prototype in his own kitchen.
