We’re thrilled to announce a monumental step forward in our mission to champion sustainability in the coffee sector. Here at 3E Africa, we’ve officially joined the Centre for Circular Economy in Coffee. This partnership is not just a milestone, it’s a launchpad for deeper research, innovative solutions, and greater impact right here in Kenya and across the coffee value chain.https://www.circulareconomyincoffee.org/c4cec-members/
The Centre for Circular Economy in Coffee is a powerhouse of knowledge, singularly focused on making know-how related to circularity in coffee accessible to everyone involved. From coffee farmers and local communities to large companies, universities, and SMEs, the Centre provides a vital platform. This where circular economy principles are put into practice, innovations are piloted, research is deepened, and all the best practices, solutions, and case studies are collected and shared. It is a comprehensive platform for sustainable coffee, covering everything from the farm gate to your coffee cup and beyond to responsible disposal.
For 3E Africa, an organization that has passionately worked in the coffee value chain for two years, gaining access to this level of specialized, backed-up research and information is invaluable. It equips us with the tools we need to truly enhance circularity in coffee production.
This membership couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re currently tackling the significant challenge of coffee waste management at the cooperatives we partner with. The Centre’s wealth of knowledge, cutting-edge research, and practical solutions will be instrumental in helping us understand the best ways to manage this waste and more importantly, how to transform it into valuable resources like compost, biochar, briquettes among other products.
At 3E Africa, we firmly believe that platforms fostering knowledge exchange are crucial for sparking innovative solutions and expanding our reach within the communities we serve. This membership doesn’t just offer us information; it creates a two-way street. We’ll be able to contribute to the Centre’s already robust research by sharing our own data and insights, collaborating with other member organizations, and collectively pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable coffee.
This partnership with the Centre for Circular Economy in Coffee is more than just a membership; it’s a commitment to a greener, more sustainable future for coffee, empowering us to make a lasting difference in the lives of coffee stakeholders.
