Printing with a purpose: Coffee-Based Pigments

Natural pigments from upcycled coffee, a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes.

At Caffe Inc., we’ve developed bio-based pigments from upcycled coffee grounds, offering a truly sustainable alternative to traditional printing inks.
Our coffee-derived pigments are used to formulate eco-friendly, water-based inks, specifically designed for:

  • Flexographic printing
  • Gravure printing
  • Packaging applications on plastics, paper, and textiles

These plant-based colorants not only reduce environmental impact, but also bring a rich, natural aesthetic — all while supporting a circular economy by repurposing what would
otherwise be discarded as waste.

Why choose natural pigments?

Our natural colorants don’t come with the environmental drawbacks that conventional
pigments carry. Petroleum based pigments such as the widely used Carbon black
causes emissions of 35-40Mt CO2 annually.
