Use leftover coffee grounds to create new products how to make glasses frames with coffee grounds as ingredients in the green industry

With all due respect, do my friends wear glasses? Do the friends around you wear glasses?

Most of the glasses you can come into contact with today are made of plastic made of oil as a raw material, or metal, such as titanium.

On the other hand, the code worker, who regards coffee as his lover, is different, looking for all kinds of items that contain coffee as much as possible.

This time I found a company from Ukraine, which is called Ochis. What is remarkable about this company is that it recycles coffee grounds into glasses frames.

Today's pretty boys and girls, whether it is day or night, put on a pair of sunglasses and go out to buy a cup of coffee to take pictures. However, while everyone only pays attention to whether the photo of the cup of coffee in their hands looks good with themselves, have you ever thought about the post-processing of coffee grounds?

Coffee grounds can also have a second life. According to Forbes, the Ukrainian Ochis company mixes used coffee powder with flax and vegetable oil-based biopolymers before cutting them with a computer.

The frame made from coffee grounds recycled by Ochis can biodegrade 100 times faster than standard plastic glasses. In other words, if you want to change the frame, you just need to take the lens off, and even if the frame is thrown on the soil or water, the frame can be converted into pure natural fertilizer for plants.

In an interview with Maksym Havrylenko, chief executive of Ochis, he said that he had used a variety of herbs as raw materials to make frames in the spirit of making environmentally friendly and fashionable frames, but eventually found coffee grounds, a natural material. The black color of coffee grounds, as a classic color match, is suitable for everyone; second, the world produces a large number of coffee grounds every day.

All these are the reasons why coffee grounds have become the raw material for the manufacture of mirror frames.

See some of the pictures above, do you feel that these frames are cool, even a little moved.

According to Sprudge's 2019 report, Ochis's products were only "produced in small quantities" that year, with plans to produce 100000 pairs in 2021.

Prices on its website range from $130 (842.5 yuan) to $160 (1037 yuan).

The green industry, which uses coffee grounds as raw materials, has long spread to all kinds of products, from furniture, cups, inks, biofuels to clothing. Even can eat into the stomach, only you can not think of, there is nothing you can not find. If so, it is at the stage of research and development.

Since recent years, meteorological disasters have become more and more frequent, either here or there. As the children of Mother Earth, should we also seriously consider that it is time for us to start to love our Mother Earth, such as being more environmentally friendly?

It would be nice to know this kind of product. It doesn't mean we have to buy it. After all, don't you have carbon emissions in packaging and transportation?
