Kaffe Bueno

As the world grapples with the growing problem of waste, the beauty industry is finding innovative ways to make an impact. Over 58 million tonnes of food waste are produced in the EU every year—and at Kaffe Bueno, we’re turning a part of that waste into something extraordinary. In the recent Vogue Business article, Danielle Olavario explores the rise of upcycled beauty in depth. As Olavario explains in the article, Kaffe Bueno is helping beauty brands reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining product quality by transforming coffee by-products into ingredients like KAFFIBRE® and KLEANSTANT®. At Kaffe Bueno, we’ve built partnerships to create a reliable source of coffee by-products for our ingredients, tackling these hurdles head-on. Upcycled materials not only help brands reduce their reliance on virgin resources, but they also align with the growing consumer demand for transparency and sustainability. The future of beauty lies in solutions like these—where waste becomes a valuable resource. Thank you for the interview, Danielle Olavario and thank you Alejandro Franco for participating.

💡Did you know that by replacing traditional ingredients with upcycled coffee-derived ingredients, you can reduce the environmental impact of your personal care products? As we participate in #ZeroWasteWeek, we want to highlight the ways in which our upcycled personal care ingredients help reduce landfill waste, plus, reduce CO2 Scope 3 emissions of your finished products. In fact, KAFFOIL® — our upcycled coffee extract — is 9.4 times more sustainable than palm oil and 3.4 times more sustainable than argan oil in terms of CO2 emissions per kilogram. This approach not only cuts down on waste but also drives us closer to a more sustainable future. Let’s do the maths. Say you are a manufacturer of hair oil or body lotion. Your product contains 10% of palm oil (3 KG CO2-eq/KG) or argan oil (1.2 KG CO2-eq/KG) - that’s equivalent to 0.3 kg or 0.12 KG of CO2-eq in your product. Now say you replace either of those oils with KAFFOIL (0.35 KG CO2-eq/KG). At 10% in a KG of formulation, that’s equal to 0.035 KG CO2-eq. Nearly 10 times lower than you have today! This is thanks to our upcycling process and circular practices throughout our production process. 🌲 What do we mean when we use the word "Upcycling"? In this interview with Cosmetics Business at in-cosmetics Global, Alejandro Franco breaks down our definition of upcycling and goes into detail on how we're working towards a #zerowaste future. He also explains how we're using Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to measure and manage our environmental impact. What steps are you taking to reduce your carbon footprint?

Curious to know who helped shape our brand identity? We want to thank Barbro Brand Studio for their work on our branding last year, which helped us define who we are and how we share our story with the world. This collaboration resulted in a brand identity that clearly communicates our values, mission, and purpose. "On a philosophical level, we want to become known for having changed the way people perceive coffee. Our vision is for people to not only think of an espresso when they think of coffee. We want them to be familiar with coffee as a natural resource that can be found in many, many everyday products. Then we know that Kaffe Bueno has made an impact. To us, it has always been important to not just talk about change, but to be the change." This quote from Alejandro Franco, our Co-Founder and CCO, reflects our commitment to reshaping how coffee is perceived and our focus on leading this shift in the industry.
