Under the slogan “Change does not imply great revolutions but small steps”, the gastronomic chain invites customers to reuse coffee waste to give it a new useful life.
Coffee is part of the DNA of Argentines. It is a daily habit to wake up every day and consume it as part of breakfast, or as a snack, or at any time of the day when that shot of energy is needed to continue the workday. However, it is also a custom that, once the coffee is made, the grounds are usually discarded without knowing something fundamental: the considered “residue” of the coffee can have a new life since it contains many benefits for everyday life.
For this reason, Le Pain Quotidienone of the most recognized gastronomic chains worldwide, invites customers and the general public to come to any of the more than 36 stores in the country to look for their compostable bag containing coffee grounds. ready to be reused.

In this way, the so-called “waste” of coffee can be recycled for different purposes, such as:
- PLANT FOOD: coffee residue has nitrogen and phosphorus, two super beneficial properties for plant growth. In addition, it facilitates soil drainage, improves ventilation and allows greater water retention. It can be incorporated directly into the soil or placed in the irrigation water. This also works for harvesting. If you have an orchard, the eraser will strengthen the growth and help more fruit to grow.
- REPELLER: Coffee grounds are great repellents for bugs and even work to keep kitties away from your plants so they won’t eat or break them.
- ODOR NEUTRALISER: the erase neutralizes the bad smell. It is recommended to place a little coffee (already dry) at the bottom of the waste basket to avoid the proliferation of unpleasant odors. The key is to change the product every so often.
- POTS AND PAN CLEANER: Depending on the coffee grind, the gritty texture of the coffee grounds works as a good abrasive in removing raised soil from pots and pans.
- EXFOLIANT: that’s how it is! Mixed with creams or oils suitable for the body and face, “coffee grounds”, as it is also known, work as an excellent remover of grains, impurities and clogged pores, leaving the skin silky and 100% clean.
