Coffee ranks as the second most consumed beverage globally, and its popularity is associated with the growing accumulation of spent coffee grounds (SCG), a by-product that, if not managed properly, constitutes a serious ecological problem. Analyses of SCG have repeatedly shown that they are a source of substances with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In this study, we assessed SCG as a substrate for the production of edible/biodegradable films. The κ-carrageenan was utilized as a base polymer and the emulsified SCG oil as a filler. The oil pressed from a blend of Robusta and Arabica coffee had the best quality and the highest antioxidant properties; therefore, it was used for film production. The film-forming solution was prepared by dissolving κ-carrageenan in distilled water at 50 °C, adding the emulsified SCG oil, and homogenizing. This solution was cast onto Petri dishes and dried at room temperature. Chemical characterization showed that SCG increased the level of polyphenols in the films and the antioxidant properties, according to the CUPRAC assay (CC1 23.90 ± 1.23 µmol/g). SCG performed as a good plasticizer for κ-carrageenan and enhanced the elongation at the break of the films, compared with the control samples. The solubility of all SCG films reached 100%, indicating their biodegradability and edibility. Our results support the application of SCG as an active and easily accessible compound for the food packaging industry.
