Biopolymer from Coffee Grounds: REKRILL® COFFEE

REKRILL® Coffee is a biopolymer from coffee grounds obtained by recovering Silver Skin, the thin film that separates from the bean during roasting.
A bio-based material for industry, developed from waste that offers excellent processability, a natural texture, and high performance, particularly in 3D printing processes.

EVERY BEAN LEAVES SOMETHING PRECIOUS

The innovative material from coffee

Silver Skin, a by-product of coffee roasting with no real industrial applications, is recovered and transformed into a bio-based material from coffee that becomes part of the REKRILL® polymer matrix. From coffee comes an innovative material capable of combining natural aesthetics, sustainability, and technical performance.

A natural texture with unique character

The warm tones of coffee and the fine grain of Silver Skin give the material an immediately recognizable aesthetic identity. Colors and finishes can be customized to suit any project.

The particular waxy component of Silver Skin enhances the material’s processability in additive manufacturing processes and ensures excellent performance in 3D printing.

Our polymer derived from coffee grounds is naturally also suitable for other production technologies.

THE HIDDEN RESOURCE BEHIND EVERY ROAST

From Silver Skin to biopolymer from coffee grounds

Coffee waste is recovered, processed, and finally transformed into a bio-based material ready for industrial production. A process developed to valorize an agri-food by-product and convert it into a new resource for industry.

A second life for Silver Skin

The thin film that separates from the bean during roasting is recovered from Italian roasters and directed to a new production chain.

From natural fiber to organic filler

Silver Skin is dried and ground in our drying and micronization plant until it becomes a fine, stable powder: a moisture-free organic filler.

Compounding the polymer from coffee grounds

The filler is incorporated into the REKRILL® bio-based matrix through a patented compounding process, then extruded to obtain mini-pellets ready for industrial processing.

Each REKRILL® material can be customized in a wide range of colors, regardless of the source fiber, to meet the specific aesthetic and application needs of every project.
The range of colors for REKRILL® materials is achieved through the use of masterbatches based on controlled raw materials, selected for their low environmental impact and to meet increasingly stringent sustainability requirements, offering the customer extensive freedom of customization.
