Circular A-Z: Kaffeeform and Coffee Kreis

The letter "K" naturally brings coffee ☕ to my mind, and coming next is the significant amount of coffee grounds discarded each day. But what if we could transform this waste into valuable products? This is exactly what Kaffeeform and Coffee Kreis are doing—turning coffee waste into sustainable, reusable solutions that exemplify circular design. They remind us that this natural material is an untapped resource, full of potential, waiting to be innovatively reimagined.



Kaffeeform Pioneering Coffee-Based Circularity

Founded in 2009 with a heartfelt mission to promote sustainability, Kaffeeform aims to utilize coffee grounds—an often-overlooked waste material—as a substitute for plastics. After years of diligent experimentation, they proudly introduced the amazing Kaffeeform Cups ☕ in 2015. Kaffeeform is dedicated to elevating the concept of circularity, encapsulated in their motto “𝑼𝒏𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆”. They believe that resources should never end up in the trash; instead, they should be given a second life by transforming them into beautiful everyday objects infused with new purpose.



Coffee Kreis: Redefining Coffee Culture with Waste-Free Cups

Kreis, which means "circle ⭕ " in Spanish, originated in Colombia, a nation rich in coffee culture. Founders Ricardo and Daniela began with a simple question: 𝑊ℎ𝑦 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑠𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒 𝑏𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒? Their goal is to transform natural materials into sustainable products while shifting our perspective on the value of used coffee grounds. They have worked tirelessly to create a seamless transition for the coffee industry, resulting in everyday items made from natural and plant-based materials, all grounded in a commitment to sustainability.



Kaffeeform and Coffee Kreis exemplify the powerful change we can create by repurposing waste into valuable resources. Their circular approach addresses waste at its source, inspiring us to reduce our own contributions to landfills while embracing reusable, long-lasting solutions. These brands remind us that sustainability is about more than just avoiding harm; it’s about cultivating a mindset of innovation, stewardship, and community.
