    The project "From Coffee Waste to Value: A Circular Bioeconomy Model for Agrifood and Skincare Innovation" involves setting up Coffeeco Upcycle, an initiative in Greece that transforms spent coffee grounds into high-value applications in the food packaging and skincare sectors. In addition to producing sustainable materials and bioactive compounds to meet the needs of these industries, the project aims to train stakeholders in upcycling techniques for spent coffee grounds. They will be able to develop decentralized upcycling units in their communities, based on the collection of coffee waste from local cafes and coffee retailers. Successive trainings and services will enable scaling up of this activity throughout the region. It will contribute to reducing agro-industrial waste, increasing resource efficiency, and creating diversified income streams.
