Coffee byproducts offer a promising, cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative for improving the functional and ecological performance of bio/edible films. These agro-industrial residues exhibit a richness in biofunctional compounds such as polyphenols, caffeine and dietary fibers, which contribute significant antioxidant, antimicrobial and UV-barrier properties, making them ideal candidates for applications in active food packaging.

The company has now secured a £1.6 million corporate facility from KBC Bank, supported by UK Export Finance's (UKEF) General Export Facility (GEF).

An ultra-thin free edge perfectly manages an accurate low frequency response for a rich bass reproduction.

I was intrigued by the idea of experimenting again with body products after using the same thing for so long. Was there a whole world of serums out there that I had no idea about?
