Turning coffee waste into everyday value

REcap is a collection of reusable cups designed to demonstrate how waste can become a valuable resource. Developed for Plastia, the project transforms spent coffee grounds into a unique composite material, giving new purpose to what would otherwise become waste.

The design combines a clean, timeless appearance with practical requirements for everyday use. Carefully refined proportions, a comfortable grip and stackable geometry make the cups suitable for both individual users and high-volume hospitality environments. From cafés and restaurants to festivals and public events, REcap supports the transition from single-use packaging to circular reuse systems.

More than a product, REcap represents a collaboration between design, material innovation and manufacturing, showing how circular thinking can be translated into objects people enjoy using every day.
