Kreis Cup – How many times do you drink coffee every day? Coffee is one of the world’s favorite drinks, among the people of Indonesia. Not surprisingly, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, Indonesia ranks fourth as the largest coffee-producing country in the world.
Due to its popularity, coffee produces tons of coffee ground waste globally. With some innovations, coffee grounds can be reused as compost or the basic ingredients for face and body masks.
But different from the others, Ricardo and Daniela this coffee-loving couple created a product from coffee waste, namely the Kreis Cup.
Together with a team, consisting of product design, engineering, and manufacturing professionals, who have worked closely with coffee distributors, Ricardo and Daniela build sustainable products. With the team, they managed to create an innovative solution for coffee waste within months of development.
Kreis Cup is an alternative to disposable paper cups and aims to lighten the environmental burden by reprocessing used coffee grounds. This innovation is made from used coffee grounds and vegetable materials. Therefore, this product is free from petroleum-based plastics or other harmful substances.
This product is reusable, recyclable, and sustainable. It can even last with a long service life, which is years. “We recycle millions of tons of coffee waste that only ends up in the trash. If not managed, the waste will cause many environmental problems, such as the production of greenhouse gases and leachate,” said Ricardo and Daniela.
To make the Kreis Cup, Ricardo and Daniela collect coffee grounds from local coffee shops, restaurants, offices, and hotels.
