Recaff™
What is Recaff?
Recaff is produced via ReenBio’s proprietary fermentation platform, which converts organic waste substrates into a rich coffee flavour and caffeine complex — perfectly replicating the roasted coffee sensory profile without agricultural dependencies.
The global coffee industry faces escalating pressures from climate change, land scarcity, and water stress. Recaff provides a sustainable, scalable alternative that decouples coffee flavour production from crop-based supply chains entirely.
Fully compliant with EU & US natural flavouring standards, Recaff is ready to replace or extend conventional coffee extracts in any formulation — from ready-to-drink beverages to energy bars and protein powders.
