Drinking less than 2.5 million cups of coffee a day. According to this statistic, we produce 34 million kilograms of coffee grounds as waste every day. Now, coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer or compost, so it's not really a problem, but what can we do with more coffee grounds?

These sites obviously can't be reused or rebrewed, so it's basically a large warehouse of low-cost raw materials waiting to be used and converted into products…so Oasis is making glasses out of them! Made from natural coffee powder and flax (held together by natural biopolymers), Oasis sunglasses look great and smell great! With a light coffee aroma, these cups sit nicely on your face, making multi-cup coffee fashionable glasses again. Lenses made from coffee grounds are strong and flexible and 100% biodegradable when discarded (glass lenses do not biodegrade but are 100% recyclable). This is such a great way to be both stylish and environmentally friendly…and your face always smells like coffee, which is just another plus!
