There have been four "waves of coffee"—this is what the industry calls major developments in the coffee industry. Each wave starts with a strong, disruptive change that permanently affects the coffee industry.
The first wave of coffee is defined by its increased availability and transformation into an object of global trade. The second wave introduced the concept of coffees from different countries to coffee consumers.
The third wave shifted the focus to the story behind the cup. The fourth wave is about adding more value to the coffee supply chain and sustainability concepts. The idealized circular economy model in the coffee sector does seem to apply here, so our inspiration and vision are to start the 5th wave of coffee movement—the recycling of coffee waste.
