Faci
Started in 2018 right here at THE Ohio State University, Faci is a social enterprise that is focused on creating and selling soaps made out of upcycled espresso grounds. That's right. . . beans! Upcycling, making use of by-products or waste materials, is an innovative way to get the most value out of everything we use, and Faci uses this resourceful technique to attain value from post-brew coffee grounds. Collecting from OSU's campus and Columbus coffee shops, Faci bakes these useful beans into face scrubs and bar soaps.
​
​
By exploiting the natural exfoliating, moisturizing, and deodorizing qualities of coffee grounds, Faci is able to create wonderful soaps that contribute to the greater cause of reducing the amount of waste put into landfills. Faci soaps are available for purchase on their website: thefacicompany.com.
