Kaffe Bueno is poised to revolutionize the cosmetics industry with the introduction of Kleanstant, a natural anionic surfactant upcycled from coffee by-products. This innovative development involves transforming coffee waste, primarily sourced from the hotel and catering sectors, into high-quality cosmetic actives. By leveraging its expertise in biotechnology and sustainable practices, Kaffe Bueno aims to create environmentally friendly and effective ingredients for the beauty industry.
Kleanstant is derived from spent coffee grounds, a by-product that is typically discarded in large quantities by the hospitality industry. Through a proprietary upcycling process, Kaffe Bueno converts this waste into a valuable surfactant, which is a key ingredient in many personal care products. This surfactant boasts excellent cleansing properties, making it suitable for use in shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, and other skincare formulations.
By repurposing coffee waste, Kaffe Bueno addresses the pressing issue of organic waste management, reducing the environmental impact of the hospitality industry. Furthermore, the upcycling process promotes a circular economy by creating value from waste materials, fostering resource efficiency, and supporting sustainable consumption and production patterns. This aligns with global sustainability goals and encourages other industries to explore similar waste-to-value opportunities.
