Specialist in ingredients from coffee residues.

Who are we?

Coffee grounds, a natural raw material, also came naturally to us as founders. 

As a coffee grower, I couldn’t help but be concerned about the polluting destruction by a raw material that I helped bring to life.

I’ve devoted a large part of my career to growing plants in Africa, finding ecological solutions for their cultivation, looking after the land and the growers involved. Frédéric Verwilghen

 As a scientist,  a specialist in skin ecology and the creation of well-known cosmetic ingredients, I knew the coffee plant was very powerful. The coffee berry is the source of numerous remedies, and its simplest extracts already have cosmetic virtues, not to mention the caffeine that invigorates the whole planet. 

Sébastien Ameye joined us, also motivated by doing something with the waste of coffee grounds. Dr. David F. Perry

We knew that coffee was even more  valuable once drunk! The Cabeco® company was born out of our partnership, to develop new ingredients using coffee grounds generated by industry (and not domestic grounds).
