Coffee creations turns spent coffee grounds and other compostable waste into new products that are good for people and planet
Experimentation process from grounds to material samples
How much coffee grounds do cafes, communal living spaces, and community organizations throw away each day?
What if those same coffee grounds could be repurposed into earth friendly products that generate economic opportunities for those needing second chances?
Refining the formula and testing out samples as planter pots
Coffee creations recovers spent coffee grounds from waste to earth friendly products for conscious consumers.
I adjusted the formula for flexibility, durability, and texture, and explored using the material for different forms and functions.
Further experimentation with form and formula
Alongside developing the formula, I am designing a production process to provide low-skill job opportunities for unhoused neighbors.
