EcoBean

You haven't heard something huge from us that happened at MassChallenge 📢. We won the Bühler Group pitch contest 🏆🏆🏆! #Bühler delivers technology that produces food for 2 billion people every day, and for EcoBean to be recognized by such a key market player is incredible. 😁 It means that a major industry leader is not only impressed by the #EcoBean concept but also sees it as necessary, recognizes the market potential, and believes it can scale. We are truly excited about what happens next! MassChallenge Switzerland, you are the best at creating such opportunities for sustainable startups. You help us make the world a better place. Congrats to our co-winner - MEDEA Biopharma Thanks Dalen Jacomino for sharing the video! Bravo Marcin Koziorowski 🙌

LUX MED joins the Circular Economy movement! ☕ ♻ We are thrilled to announce that LUX MED Group started working with EcoBean to manage their #SpentCoffeeGrounds and turn them into sustainable chemicals, backing companies dedicated to a #circular economy. 🤗 What makes this even more special is that EcoBean was selected as part of their internal eco-challenge, LUX Kreacja. 📝 💎 It wasn't just the sustainability department that saw the potential in our solution, but, most importantly, the #employees. This double recognition makes us incredibly happy and shows that awareness of the circular economy is growing, and solutions like EcoBean are needed. By partnering with EcoBean, LUX MED aims to reduce their waste and the associated CO2e emissions. Together, we’re making a positive impact! Stay tuned for more updates on our collaboration.   #EcoBean #CircularEconomy #Partnership #WasteReduction

One of our favourite things about MassChallenge Switzerland? 💥 The chance to visit top-tier companies and their R&D centers, learn from their expertise, pitch our ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities. 🤝 Here are the market leaders that Kacper and Marcin had the pleasure to connect with: dsm-firmenich: Leading the way in health, nutrition, and beauty innovations. Nestlé: A global powerhouse in food and beverages. Omya: A top producer of industrial minerals and specialty chemicals. Bühler Group: A trailblazer in food processing technology. Givaudan: Masters of flavours, fragrances, and cosmetics. These companies are not just innovators; they are committed to sustainable practices and value collaborating with impactful startups like ours, enhancing and boosting their competencies. 💪 Such in-house visits are rare for startups and definitely open new doors. 😏 And who knows, pitching sometimes leads to winning. We’ve got some experience in that area... so stay tuned for good news from Switzerland. 🔍 Meanwhile, everyone who finds Marcin in the group photo gets a like from EcoBean – not easily earned. 😉

How do we bring little joys at EcoBean? For example, with a new lyophilizer! Innovation is our passion, and the more we can do with Spent Coffee Grounds, the happier we are. This little "freezy toy" ❄ now allows us to enhance our antioxidants offering to better suit our clients' needs. What are your little joys? 😉 Paula Bardadyn, Adrianna Maria Piasek

🌟We’ve just started a new adventure with the MassChallenge Switzerland accelerator, a program focused on #innovators tackling massive challenges. 💪 We don’t want to brag, but we’ve been selected from a pool of 1,379 applicants to be among the 119 companies accepted. 😎 And let us tell you, the judging process was no walk in the park! So why did we care so much ❓ Because it’s a one-of-a-kind accelerator program driven by market giants like Nestlé, Bühler Group, Louis Dreyfus Company, dsm-firmenich, Givaudan, and Omya, all focusing on startups that can address their unique needs. Plus, there’s a fantastic base of dedicated #mentors 👩💼 👨💼 with extensive experience in developing global technologies and brands, along with a series of lectures to boost our concept. It’s truly a great adventure and a huge chance to be here. Rest assured, we’re determined to make the most of it, just as we extract all the best from Spent Coffee Grounds. ☕ ♻ ⚗ First up in gaining hands-on this experience are Marcin Koziorowski, Katarzyna Tarka-Chmielecka and Joanna Manikowska

We don't need the perfect product for us. We need the one that perfectly matches our clients’ needs and offers something extra. For us, that extra is #sustainable, #circular sourcing and a low carbon footprint. 🔬 How do we ensure our products are perfect for you? We test, test, and test again! Our stellar R&D team handles internal testing, but we also test with potential partners to understand exactly what you need. 🌟 Results? We’ve already conducted numerous tests with market leaders in industries like agriculture, packaging, chemicals, cosmetics and food and are in the process of testing with more partners. The feedback? Naturally positive! 💡 Curious how our products can fit your needs? Contact us and let’s find out together!

🚀 What an intensive week it was for EcoBean! 🌱 We’ve been spreading our beans far and wide, laying the groundwork for future growth. 📍 Anna Gabor and Karolina Jelonek represented us at # Bio_Reaction, showcasing how EcoBean chemicals contribute to #RegenerativeAgriculture. Imagine coffee-derrived antioxidants as biostimulants or EcoBean composite in the herbs production. This is just the beginning of the list! 📍Kacper Kossowski took the spotlight at the Hello Tomorrow accelerator's final day, pitching our coffee waste wizardry ☕ ♻ ⚗. Deep tech to solve the world’s biggest challenges? We're on it! This accelerator has given us wings. 📍Meanwhile, Marcin Koziorowski and Monika Radomska were all about HackSummit.

Thanks to EIT Food, Lois Paatan, and EIT InnoEnergy for your help in making it happen!

🌍🌱 How did you spend #WorldEnvironmentalDay? At EcoBean, we delved into the #biodiversity challenges discussed at the always-outstanding UNEP/GRID-Warszawa conference. This event never fails to impress with its top-notch panels and mind-blowing prelections. 💡Takeaway: Every company depends on and affects biodiversity. We need to treat it as our dearest friend, with respect and care—for example, by properly managing resources, just like we at EcoBean do with coffee grounds. ☕ ♻ 👏 Hats off to @Adam Wajrak for his eye-opening session on what is and what is not a forest and why distinguishing it matters. 🎉 Congratulations to the award-winning startups familly - FibriTech and System DOT, as well as fellow chemical company BASF Polska.
