Singtex Industrial, a small business in Taiwan, uses coffee grounds left over from customers at Starbucks and 7-Eleven stores to produce a kind of coffee carbon fiber. The environmentally friendly fabric made of this fiber can produce high-quality knitted underwear, T-shirts and other clothing, so it is favored by Nike, North Face and other well-known brands.
Jason Chen, 50, the company's president, said: "the advent of S coffee carbon fiber is a technological breakthrough in our R & D project." He drinks four cups of coffee every day.
It took Singtex three years to develop the new fiber at a cost of $1.7 million. The fiber is blended with about 2% coffee grounds and nylon and can produce functional fabrics with bacteriostatic and deodorant, accelerated drying and UV resistance. However, the addition of too much coffee grounds can easily cause the fiber to break, so coffee grounds must be precisely added to the standard in the production process.
Timberland, an American casual shoes and clothing brand, calls jackets made of this carbon fiber fabric the most environmentally friendly jacket. Singtex has provided coffee carbon fiber to nearly 70 well-known brands around the world, such as Puma of Germany and Mizuno of Japan, to help these companies build an environmental image.
