Goal
InCommOn is an innovative organization that promotes sustainable urban development and circular economy principles through both educational activities and piloting of a real-life solution based on coffee waste. Their educational activities are conducted through collaboration with local schools, hosting contests and providing resources for teacher training on food waste, ecological footprint calculations and circular economy. As for the coffee pilot, kaFsimo, coffee waste is collected from local cafes which can be recognized by the kaFsimo window sticker, and then recycled into bioenergy. This practical solution demonstrates the principles of circular economy in action, and how local stakeholders (e.g. cafes, citizens, local authorities) can benefit from such an initiative.
