Unspent Co

Unspent Co is a manufacturing startup that aims to address the issue of coffee waste by converting industrial coffee waste into high-value materials, specifically COPOXEE™, a biobased coffee oil epoxides. With a founding year of 2022, the company recognizes the potential of utilizing spent coffee grounds as a sustainable source of bio-based plastics. This initiative is particularly significant as coffee waste accounts for approximately 90% of the coffee bean following brewing, despite coffee being the second most traded commodity globally. The development of COPOXEE™ not only offers a solution to coffee waste but also presents new opportunities in the field of bioplastic production as a high-performance plasticizer. The material's unique selling point lies in being the only plasticizer on the market derived from a waste stream. As Unspent Co endeavors to establish a more sustainable approach to coffee waste management, it represents an innovative prospect within the manufacturing industry.
