Cafes throw away lots of coffee grounds every day.

They usually go in the bin.

But in London, one business is changing this.

Its name is UpCircle.

It's using the unwanted coffee grounds in beauty products.

UpCircle collects 100 kilogrammes of used coffee grounds every day.

It collects other unwanted products too.

UpCircle mixes these items into beauty products.

They're great for the environment.

Anna Brightman manages UpCircle.

She wants more businesses to recycle.

Coffee grounds are special.

Used coffee is better for your skin.

Barbara Scott-Atkinson makes the beauty products.

Now, UpCircle's getting other rubbish too.

Some products use old flowers.

And it's getting water from fruit.

Designers are using unwanted natural products too.

They're reusing the things around them.

These items go into their designs.

Gemma Curtin works at The Design Museum in London.
