Do you know what happens to the coffee grounds from your favourite cafe?

Cafes usually throw these grounds away.

But one company in London is fixing this problem.

It's called UpCircle.

It's taking the used coffee grounds and making beauty products.

UpCircle collects around 100 kilogrammes of coffee grounds daily.

It sends the grounds to a factory where they're mixed with other natural waste products.

This is made into eco-friendly beauty products.

Manager, Anna Brightman, wants other businesses to start recycling waste products too.

Barbara Scott-Atkinson is a skincare expert.

She creates UpCircle's products.

She thinks coffee grounds are suitable for beauty products.

Other businesses are getting involved.

They're offering UpCircle more leftover products.

These include unsold flowers and water from juice producers.

But UpCircle isn't the only business recycling natural waste products.

Around the world, designers are also including these products in their work.

Gemma Curtin managed a design exhibition at The Design Museum in London.
