Coffeeco Upcycle Secures $1 Million Seed Round to Transform Coffee Waste into Eco-Friendly Innovations

Coffeeco Upcycle is excited to announce that we have successfully raised $1,000,000 in our latest funding round—a pivotal step forward in our mission to revolutionize waste reduction and promote sustainability across the coffee and skincare industries. As a company committed to repurposing what many consider waste, we transform used coffee grounds collected from local cafes into innovative products that benefit both the environment and our communities. With espresso representing only 1% of the coffee fruit and the remaining 99% typically discarded, our approach not only reclaims essential resources but also significantly reduces the average individual’s daily carbon footprint. This funding will be strategically deployed to bolster our two primary initiatives: developing our line of microbiome-friendly skincare products and advancing our sustainable polypropylene production. Our skincare range, which harnesses the natural benefits of antioxidants and caffeine found in reclaimed grounds, includes scrubs, masks, and lotions designed to rejuvenate the skin while promoting a balanced and healthy microbiome. Simultaneously, we continue to innovate by converting coffee grounds’ cellulose fibers into biodegradable polypropylene—a transformative material that offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic packaging and food containers. This infusion of capital will further our research and development efforts, widen our production capabilities, and expand our market reach, driving us closer to our vision of a circular food supply chain and a greener planet. With gratitude to our investors and the community, Coffeeco Upcycle looks forward to leading the charge in closing the waste loop, one sustainable innovation at a time.
