Replacing palm oil with coffee grounds
A Scottish firm specializing in high-value products derived from used coffee grounds claim they are developing pioneering environmentally-efficient processes that could lead to a sustainable and alternative ingredient to palm oil. The two entrepreneurs behind Revive Eco Ltd. say the potentially “game-changing” concept comes as some manufacturers are under pressure to find alternatives to palm oil and more ethically-driven consumers turn their backs on the controversial ingredient.
Co-Founders of Revive, Fergus Moore and Scott Kennedy works with waste management partners to collect used coffee grounds across Scotland. The company then converts them into natural oils which have wide-ranging uses across the food and beverage industry. They can also be used in the personal care and cosmetics sector and potentially within pharmaceuticals and household products as well.
The start-up plans to launch its first demonstration unit in Scotland later this year and has big plans for a roll out. (Food Ingredients First)
