ETi Prevents 598 Kilograms of Carbon Emission by Upcycling Coffee Grounds

Placing sustainability at the center of its activities and working with the aim of transferring happiness to future generations, ETi has taken an important step in reducing its carbon footprint by transforming its micro waste. In this direction, the company has collaborated with Wastespresso, a local social enterprise that uses coffee pulps by upcycling them with sustainable biomaterial technology solutions and offers data-driven waste management solutions, and has added a new one to its sustainability efforts launched under the roof of “Long Live the World” by regularly collecting the pulps from the coffees used in its offices in Istanbul and using these wastes in upcycling.

Equivalent to Conversion of 883 Square Meters of Land into Forest

Taking care to spread the sustainability strategy in all business processes Thanks to this collaboration, ETi has prevented a total of 598 kilograms of greenhouse gases from being released into the atmosphere by using a sustainable alternative bioplastic raw material production method instead of traditional disposal of coffee pulp since the beginning of the year. By adding 578 kilograms of coffee pulp produced in offices to the circular economy thanks to Wastespresso instead of throwing them away, the formation of greenhouse gases equivalent to 598 kilograms of carbon footprint has been prevented. This benefit prevents the negative impact of approximately 256 liters of gasoline usage and provides a gain equivalent to converting 2 square meters of land into forest.
