Japan’s first high value-added project focusing on the functionality of dried coffee beans pomace: 2022 Aichi Prefecture subsidised project to promote the creation of a recycling-oriented society.
The coffee bean residues from major beverage factories, which had to be composted because there was no conventional drying method that did not damage the nutritional content of the material, are now being upcycled into high-functioning, high-value-added feed for dairy cattle and fertiliser for green tea, using the RedoxMaster®’s low-temperature drying method, which prevents oil oxidation and protein denaturation and emits less carbon dioxide. The dried coffee bean residues are fed to dairy cows as high-functional feed, and milk from produced from the cows is used as ingredient for coffee drinks, which completes the circular economy in the prefecture. The project has been authorized by Aichi prefecture and adopted as a subsidised project to promote the formation of a recycling-oriented society, and is operating smoothly.
