WHY RECYCLED COFFEE?
WHAT ARE USED/SPENT COFFEE GROUNDS, A.K.A. COFFEE 'WASTE' ?
At Kaffe Bueno, we are all about giving life back to what most consider waste; we recycle used coffee grounds, or technically known as Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) to extract healthy and high value components. In short, SCG is the coffee grounds remaining after your brew. SCG is a by-product with fine particle size and high organic load. Its chemical composition is based on cellulose, hemicelluloses, proteins, fat, polyphenols, minerals and different products formed by the Maillard reaction during the roasting process, such as melanoidins. These compounds have shown several biological activities, including antiproliferative, antioxidants, and antimicrobial effects (Mariotti-Celis et al. 2017).

The world’s first coffee biorefinery
A new refinery for new generations
We have built the world’s first coffee biorefinery. Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, our brand new R&D and production centre is designed to meet the increased demand for natural ingredients across the industries sustaining society’s wellbeing. Our pioneering biorefinery is the global hub of innovation for unlocking coffee’s health potential.
What is a biorefinery?
A biorefinery is an integrated, state-of-the-art facility that converts biological materials, like plant and/or animal by-products, into a spectrum of valuable bio-based products and energy. Through cutting-edge processes, it optimises the use of every component, mirroring the efficiency of natural ecosystems, and propelling industries towards a sustainable future
Environmentally friendly production
We use green chemistry, biotech, and nanotechnology to break down coffee into its molecular components. We process and upcycle different types of coffee by-products, sourced directly from our partners, into attractive active, functional and multifunctional ingredients for a wide range of consumer products across a wide range of industries. All in an environmentally friendly production environment.
