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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-compostable-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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boot-bananas) and sweating, even after 12 hours of a hard day in shoes. Both the insoles and the packaging are made of [compostable organic materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swave-sport). So, they can become an excellent fertilizer for plants.
