A small business in Taiwan, called Singtex Industrial, produced coffee coffees from the coffee residue left by Starbucks and 7-Eleven store customers after drinking coffee.

The environmentally friendly fabric made of this kind of fiber can produce high quality knitted underwear.

Such clothing, therefore, is well received by famous brands such as Nike and North Face.

Jason Chen, the 50 year old CEO of the company, said: "the advent of S coffee carbon fiber is a technological breakthrough in our company's R & D projects."

He himself drinks four cups of coffee every day.

Singtex cost $1 million 700 thousand, and it took three years to develop this kind of product.

New fiber

。

The fiber is made from about 2% of coffee grounds and nylon. It can produce functional fabrics with antibacterial, deodorizing, accelerated drying and anti ultraviolet properties.

However, the addition of too much coffee residue can easily lead to breakage of this fiber, so the production process must be accurately added to the standard coffee grounds.
