“COFFEE'S LIFE DOESN'T END AFTER YOU DRINK IT. IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CYCLE.”

"WASTE IS A RESOURCE IN THE WRONG HANDS."

CYCLE KB 2019.png

MISSION

To unlock coffee's health potential where harmful emissions are minimised and coffee’s by-product usability is maximised.
 

By extending coffee's economical life, we will be able to give back to the people we owe its existence; farmers.

Our vision is to transform the way people perceive coffee; from looking at it as their caffeine fix, to look at it as a sustainable health elixir.
