Coffee grounds are used to make sunglasses that are both fashionable and environmentally friendly

2020-05-15

It is estimated that 2 to 2.5 billion cups of coffee are consumed globally every day, generating a staggering amount of coffee grounds. A Ukrainian entrepreneur has had a brilliant idea: to repurpose coffee grounds into stylish and eco-friendly sunglasses. A machine cuts the grounds onto a flat surface, soon creating the frames. "Then we polish them, add all the parts, temples, and lenses, and the sunglasses are complete," says Galilanko, the developer of the coffee grounds sunglasses. Galilanko, originally a spectacler, sought alternatives to plastic to make the frames environmentally friendly and biodegradable, trying everything from mint to wheat and rice. He ultimately found that a mixture of coffee grounds, vegetable oil, and flax fibers, compressed and cut into frames, yielded the best results. The initial frames are then hand-polished to create high-quality, stylish sunglasses, with lenses made from similar plant fibers. "This isn't just about producing goods," said Kallanco. "It's about changing people's perceptions, encouraging them to use natural materials and ingredients, and cultivating a habit of responsible consumption." The coffee grounds glasses not only have a natural feel but also smell of coffee. Kallanco has branded its self-developed sunglasses, primarily selling them in coffee shops and online. Since their launch last year, consumer response has been quite positive, with its main customers coming from Europe and America. Consumer Polyakov stated, "It's innovative and environmentally friendly. Protecting the environment isn't just important in our country, but globally; moving in this direction is crucial." Coffee grounds are lighter than regular frames, and when no longer used, they decompose into natural fertilizer when left in water or soil. Kallanco sees great potential in reusing coffee grounds and plans to use them to make everyday items such as plates, toothbrushes, and phone cases, hoping to encourage more people to join the movement to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment.
