Coffee insoles are eco-friendly with a coffee aroma. They are produced by the '7-gram' startup. Based in Ukraine, cleantech is eager to solve the problem of waste in the coffee industry. It upcycles coffee cups and bagasse into insoles.
People can use coffee insoles with various types of shoes, sneakers, or hiking boots. This eco-friendly product can be put on top or easily attached to the original insole without damaging the material. Coffee insoles can be paired with orthopedic ones - they quickly repeat all the bends. Coffee insoles work even in extreme weather conditions. They perfectly cope with unpleasant odors and sweating, even after 12 hours of a hard day in shoes.
Both the insoles and the packaging are made of compostable organic materials. So, they can become an excellent fertilizer for plants.
