Leftover Coffee Grounds Turned Into Garment Fabrics.
A small business in Taiwan, called SingtexIndustrial, uses Starbucks coffee and Starbucks store customers to produce coffee carbon fibers after the coffee residue left.
The environmentally friendly fabric made of this kind of fiber can produce high quality knitted underwear, T-shirt and other garments, so it is well received by famous brands such as Nike and NorthFace.

"The advent of S coffee carbon fiber is a technological breakthrough in our R & D project," said JasonChen, the 50 year old chief executive of the company.
He himself drinks four cups of coffee every day.
Singtex cost $1 million 700 thousand, and it took three years to develop this new type of 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.

The brand Timberland will use this carbon fiber fabric jacket as the most environmentally-friendly jacket.
Singtex has now provided coffee, carbon fiber to nearly 70 famous brands in Germany, such as MIZUNO, Japan and MIZUNO, to help these enterprises create an environmental image.
