Beyond the Bean: How We Upcycle Coffee Waste into Sustainable Art

The Problem with Coffee Waste The journey from cherry to cup produces a lot of organic waste, specifically the silverskin and husks. Usually, these are discarded. At Tongkonan Qufe, we saw this as an opportunity to innovate.

Our Eco-Innovation Series Sustainability is at the core of our mission. We have developed a unique line of upcycled products that transform coffee waste into beautiful, functional items:

  • Eco-Lamps: Handcrafted lighting that brings a warm, earthy glow to any room.
  • Sustainable Tumblers & Tableware: Durable and eco-friendly alternatives to plastic.

Crafted by Local Hands These products are handmade by the women of Toraja, providing them with extra income and skills. When you purchase our coffee or our eco-products, you are supporting a zero-waste lifestyle and helping us protect the pristine highlands of South Sulawesi.
