OVPolymers in the Spotlight: Sustainable Plastics from Coffee Grounds

At OVPolymers, we believe that waste is just a resource waiting for a new purpose. Our founder, Olaf Vermeulen, recently shared our story with Duurzaam Ondernemen, highlighting how we transform used coffee grounds into sustainable plastic solutions.

A Circular Approach to Plastics

Each year, millions of tons of coffee grounds are discarded as waste. At OVPolymers, we see an opportunity instead of a problem. By incorporating 30% coffee grounds into our high-quality recycled or biobased plastics, we create innovative materials that are both functional and environmentally friendly. These materials can be used in a wide range of products, from consumer goods to interior design elements such as our Re:Tile wall tiles.

From Coffee Waste to Functional Products

As Olaf explained in the article, our technology allows coffee grounds to replace a portion of traditional plastics, reducing reliance on virgin materials. The resulting material maintains the durability and versatility plastics while offering a more sustainable footprint.

Partnering for a Greener Future

Sustainability is a team effort. At OVPolymers, we actively seek partnerships with companies that value circular solutions. Whether it’s working with businesses in the hospitality industry to repurpose their coffee waste or collaborating with manufacturers looking for sustainable materials, we are dedicated to driving positive change.
