Biobased materials made from coffee grounds – A plastic alternative to sustainability

Coffee Bio-Composite

Coffee Bio-composite is a combination of natural materials namely coffee grounds (51%) and recycled PP (49%). The material has passed a series of rigorous tests according to European and American standards to obtain REACH/Rohs certification, and Food Contact Materials (FCMs), which ensure absolute safety when the material comes in contact with food, and even hot temperature (~100 degrees Celsius). In addition, Coffee Bio-composite from coffee is committed to being non-contaminated, BPA-free for human health. – High color stability – High temperature resistant – Safety in direct contact with food (BPA free) – Using injection molding, blowing film and molding technology Technical specifications: – Shape: Coffee brown colored cylindrical shape – Smell: Light coffee, non-irritating – Thickness: 0.015mm – Solubility: Insoluble in water and solvents – Coffee grounds content: 51% – Operating temperature: <100 degrees Celsius – Melting temperature: 185 degrees Celsius – MI, 200, 2kg: 8.5g / 10 minutes – Elastic modulus according to ASTM D638: 390 MPA – Tensile strength at weld: 27.05 MPA – Decomposition time: 6 months – Processing temperature: <190 degrees Celsius, preferably at 185 degrees Celsius.
