The discovery of coffee goes back to the 15th century when a goat-herder named Kaldi first noticed how his goats were staying awake at night after munching on these certain wild berries. Fast forward to 600 years later and coffee isn’t just a global beverage, it’s also poised to become the next footwear material. Yep, you heard me correctly. Award-winning footwear company CCILU has figured out how to turn coffee grounds into a waterproof, durable, sustainable, lightweight, and vegan alternative to materials like leather… moreover, with over a quarter-million tonnes of waste coffee grounds being generated each year, our coffee habit’s beginning to have a pretty noticeable impact on our environment.
