Klean Beans is a social enterprise aiming to create natural, affordable skincare products made from repurposing spent coffee grounds that would otherwise be sent to landfill. Used or spent coffee grounds are the by-product of making coffee using coffee beans. There is estimated to be 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds sent to landfill each year. At the landfill, coffee grounds emit 340 cubic metres of methane per tonne. Methane is a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide and one of the primary causes of global warming! There are numerous benefits in creating skincare products using coffee including: Coffee grounds are a natural exfoliating agent that removes the dirt and dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. The caffeine in the grounds contains antioxidant properties which help prevent the skin from sun damage. Provide anti-inflammatory due to chlorogenic acid as well as melanoidins in the coffee. We collect spent coffee grounds that would otherwise be going to waste from local businesses in the hospitality sector. We then repurpose the coffee grounds into natural skincare products. Coffee, which will be the main ingredient will be mixed with other natural ingredients to create natural, sustainable skincare products. We are currently formulating our first product which will be the KleanBeans Body Exfoliator. Once finished formulating this, we will start a four month long testing phase before launching our first product in September. For enquiries contact: Kleanbeansul@gmail.com
