Wastespresso

☕🌍 Over 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed every day worldwide, yet nearly 98% of coffee ends up as waste. When discarded, coffee grounds release methane during decomposition, turning a valuable resource into an environmental burden. This is where Wastespresso comes in.☕♻️ Wastespresso upcycles spent coffee grounds into sustainable bio-composite materials through advanced R&D, giving coffee waste a second life without compromising performance. Using these materials, we create circular consumer products that combine functionality, design, and environmental responsibility. ♻️ Our mission is to reduce coffee waste while decreasing reliance on resource-intensive materials such as plastics and to contribute to a more circular future by increasing our environmental impact every year.🌱 By giving coffee a second life, we help the planet breathe again. ☕♻️💚 You can reach us through our social media accounts. 📲✨ 📍 www.wastespresso.com 📍 www.instagram.com/wastespresso...

We presented Wastespresso to GCIP, UNIDO, GEF and UNOPS representatives and focused on three main things: what we do, our GCIP journey, and what we want to bring to COP in Türkiye. First, we talked about our work. We transform spent coffee grounds into bio-based raw materials and finished products that replace petroleum-based plastics, reduce carbon emissions, and create traceable circular systems. Not as an idea. Not as a small pilot. As a working, scalable business. We didn’t just explain the technology — we explained the system behind it. Second, we shared our GCIP journey. How the programme supported us in sharpening our model, strengthening our impact measurement, and connecting our local circular solution to a global climate network. And third, we spoke about COP in Türkiye and what our role could be there. We talked with UNIDO and GEF about real collaboration — how this model can grow across regions, how emerging economies can build waste-to-material infrastructure, and why material transition should be part of the COP discussion. Because climate action is not only about energy. It is also about materials. What we produce. What we replace. What we scale. This was not just a presentation. It was a conversation about how a circular material model from Türkiye can play a role on a global climate stage.

At Wastespresso, we share the world’s love for coffee—just like the 2.5 billion coffee cups enjoyed daily. But did you know that 99% of coffee grounds end up in dumpsters, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions? Well, we’re here to change that. With our patented technology, we transform spent coffee grounds into high-performance biomaterials.

From Bean to Green 🌱 Every day, tons of coffee grounds are thrown away. We see them as a starting point. With our Bean to Green (BtG) model, we collect spent coffee grounds from offices, cafés, restaurants, and corporate headquarters — and bring them back into the cycle. What happens next? Those coffee grounds are upcycled into new materials and products, from everyday consumer goods to sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics. BtG is more than recycling. It’s a traceable, circular system that turns waste into value — and helps businesses reduce their environmental footprint without changing their routines. Coffee doesn’t end in the cup. With Bean to Green, it begins a second life. ☕♻️

Enjoy your drinks without plastic straws — and without compromising the experience. 🍹 As a first in Türkiye, we proudly introduce StrawCo: straws upcycled from spent coffee grounds, 100% biodegradable and available in customizable sizes. ☕✨ Designed for the HoReCa industry, StrawCo is already being used by leading venues and brands. Before the end of summer, we aim to reach millions of consumers and scale the positive environmental impact we create. 🌱🌍 Big change starts with small steps. Join us in shaping a more sustainable world. 💚

Every office coffee break can be a sustainability decision. ☕♻️ Cupcycle is our response to single-use culture at work. Made from upcycled coffee grounds, Cupcycle turns everyday coffee habits into measurable circular impact — not waste. From desk-side sips to meeting breaks, Cupcycle fits seamlessly into office life with its lightweight feel and double-layer design that helps maintain temperature throughout the day. This isn’t a use & toss product. It’s care & reuse. Because the most sustainable choice is the one you use again and again. Choose Cupcycle at the office and turn everyday coffee moments into circular action. ☕ Cupcycle Made for every coffee moment. Not for single use.

Every coffee break leaves something behind. ☕♻️ Our coffee ground candle is our way of giving spent coffee grounds a second life. Made from upcycled spent coffee grounds, this candle goes one step further: Natural aroma comes from coffee oil extracted from our own spent coffee grounds. No added storytelling — the scent is part of the material itself. From offices to living spaces, it creates a warm, calm atmosphere while carrying the full story of circularity into everyday life. This isn’t just a scented candle. Because real circularity means using every part, not just what’s visible. Light it and let spent coffee grounds continue their journey. Coffee Ground Candle Scented by its own coffee oil. Designed through circular thinking. 🕯️
