The linear economy can no longer bring benefits and prosperity in a world where resources are scarce and climate change casts increasing doubt on the effectiveness of traditional techniques and processes. To meet these needs, society needs a paradigm shift, a shift it can achieve through the application of the circular economy, a thinking and strategy whereby waste becomes a resource and the concept of designing from cradle to coffin leaves room for a cradle-to-cradle system. In light of these concepts, the coffee sector offers great scope for work and improvement. The following thesis, under the brief placed by C4CEC (Center for Circular Economy in Coffee), therefore starts with an analysis of coffee and its supply chain, recounting characteristics, production process, key stakeholders, dynamics, and value creation; then going on to analyze how the circular economy can bring best practices aimed at reducing waste and making it more resilient in the face of climate change, while also creating benefits for the actors involved.
