The use of coffee grounds black coffee grounds can be used in refrigerators to remove flavor and make furniture speakers!

Recently, a batch of furniture made from coffee grounds is on display in the Mao hemp warehouse in Yangpu District, Shanghai. The "coffee grounds recycling board" used in these environmentally friendly furniture is a cooperation between Tongji University and Starbucks to mix recycled coffee grounds with other environmentally friendly materials into low-carbon and environmentally friendly panels that can be used in a variety of furniture designs.

Its porous structure and special properties make coffee grounds have the functions of absorbing sundries, removing flavor, antibacterial and so on. At the same time, it has good thermal conductivity, heat preservation and water absorption, which can give play to its own advantages in clothing, construction, building materials and other fields. The natural log color gives people a warm and comfortable feeling. As an organic material, coffee grounds have color advantages.

The exhibition is designed for recycled coffee grounds by the School of Design and creativity of Tongji University and Cosco Polymer Co., Ltd. Through the designer's study and understanding of the material, this paper puts forward the design possibility in the product application for this new environmental protection material. Next, let's take a look at the design of some of the exhibits in this exhibition ~ "Coffee Tree Table"-the design of Zhendan Innovation Center is inspired by the natural scenery of coffee origin-tall tropical shrubs and undulating mountains. By reviewing the process of coffee production-harvest-making-enjoyment-recycling, people's natural consciousness can be awakened. Table height design is divided into two types, which can not only satisfy people to sit and use computers, but also satisfy people to communicate through standing posture, free thinking and free expression.

The shape of the side table of the School of Design creativity and the Laboratory of material Application and Innovation of Tongji University is inspired by the rich visual effects of the design scheme in the three-dimensional software and the modeling elements of trees in nature. In order to improve the hardness of the table, the design team combined coffee dregs board with plywood and sandwich board. The dark recycled coffee recycling board contains high recycled coffee grounds, and you can smell the faint aroma of coffee close to it.

"XO tea chair"-the chair of East China University of Science and Technology is regarded as the "ceiling" in the furniture design category, and almost every famous designer and architect will have his own famous chair. As the texture of the coffee grounds recycled board is not easy to be finely cut, it is assembled by means of plug-in, which is also convenient for customers to assemble by themselves.

The work uses the Chinese-style three-way plug structure to increase the structural stability of the triangular screen, and uses the plate plug frame to create a changeable object space.

"Coffee dregs speaker"-Muhadi Design Company will lack appreciation if it uses recycled boards to make the box, so the design company uses coffee grounds and PCL (degradable plastic) to make the speaker box. Coffee grounds have the effect of sound absorption, while bringing oatmeal biscuit-like color and special texture to the box. By adding PCL to shape, it can bring more shape to the box.
