About

Fundación Entorno has been conducting research through an environmental reconversion process of coffee residues in several regions of Colombia and has already developed a prototype. In Phase 1, the project aims to carry out additional advanced testing and to scale up a social and decentralized plant to transform coffee residues into bioethanol, essential oils, and other by-products. The productive capacity, product diversification, and replicability of the model will be validated, strengthening the social, economic, and environmental impact in rural coffee-growing communities.
