COFFECO

Coffeco is a waste management company that isolates and valorizes phenolic compounds from coffee waster. The Phenol substances are useful for human health because of their beneficial properties to humans such as the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties they have. It can handle plenty of organic waste useful for large industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics. Coffeco researchers have managed to identify the conditions that allow us to isolate phenol substances from coffee was... te. This process makes our cost of production a competitive advantage since the price is much lower than the existing costs of producing phenols. They discover a new opportunity in these residues because every year 30 thousand tons of coffee residues are thrown away and at the same time more than 30 billion are spent on Production of polyphenols, when there are already free (and natural origin) in these residues. Coffeco was founded on February 28, 2018, and is based in Patras, Western Greece.More
