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).

KAFFIBRE™
KAFFIBRE™
KAFFIBRE™ is a proprietary upcycled cosmetic raw material developed in Copenhagen, Denmark by Kaffe Bueno. It is upcycled from coffee by-products, which are pretreated and defatted by Kaffe Bueno. Moreover, KAFFIBRE™ has a homogeneous particle size <150µm, enabling easy handling and consistency.
It acts as a natural exfoliating agent in personal care products, such as scrubs, masks, soaps, and cleansers.
HOW IS KAFFIBRE™ PRODUCED?
KAFFIBRE™ is upcycled from coffee by-products from trusted partners in Denmark and Finland.
We ensure our raw material is exclusively specialty coffee from the Arabica variety, and come from responsibly and sustainably sourced coffee grounds.
Furthermore, we only process coffee grounds once we have full traceability of its supply chain up until the farm it was grown.
For every ton of KAFFIBRE™ produced, 340m3 of methane are averted from being released into the environment.
