Coffee Waste Recycled Into Beauty Products – CoffeeTalk

Latvian fuel retailer Virši is partnering with biotechnology company Alternative Plants to develop a sustainable cosmetic-grade raw material from coffee grounds. The collaboration involves research on the effects of chemical compounds extracted from coffee grounds on human skin cells. The aim is to create rejuvenating and anti-fatigue body, facial, and hair care products. Virši ensures coffee’s full life cycle, using coffee grounds as a valuable raw material for cosmetic products. The company’s coffee journey begins in Brazil, using Rainforest Alliance certified coffee from the Veloso family plantation. Alternative Plants has been researching Virši coffee grounds since June to refine extraction methods. The new cosmetic-grade material is intended to serve as a stimulating ingredient in facial, body, and hair care anti-fatigue cosmetic products with rejuvenating and protective benefits.
