The Center for Circular Economy in Coffee (C4CEC) is the first precompetitive platform for enhancing the circular economy in the coffee sector.
Coffee production generates substantial biomass at every stage. Instead of becoming waste, this biomass can be turned into valuable products using circular and regenerative agricultural practices. Every part of the coffee plant, from the cherry's skin to the spent grounds, contains unique compounds that are suitable for various industrial applications.
C4CEC aims to make know-how related to circularity in the coffee sector accessible to a diverse group of stakeholders. It will enhance the environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability of the coffee value circle and offers customised member support for developing ideas.
This article examines open innovation approaches promoting the development of stakeholder-driven circular economy models.
It describes key elements of open innovation and circular value cocreation, utilises the findings from a systematic review to identify opportunities and challenges related to the open circular innovation paradigm, and presents theoretical implications and an action plan highlighting the importance of engaging in collaborative behaviour with stakeholders.
It emphasises a cocreation culture that encourages the sharing of resources, competencies and capabilities, while safeguarding organisations' IP. It finds that there is scope for practitioners to develop circular economy ecosystems that increase practitioners' bottom lines, while reducing their environmental impact.
