New_Year_Coffewear_workshop ’20
“Nothing is waste” – this is Coffewear’s philosophy. What does this mean in practice? Coffewear believes in recycling coffee sachets: coffee is something we find hard to give up, but most of the time it ends up in a packaging made out of plastic and aluminum, the proper method for the recycling of which has not yet been developed. At the same time, we are talking about a strong and durable material, so why not create, for example, wallets out if it? This is a fantastic program of sustainability and DIY culture, which you can join at the workshop on Friday.
