If I’ve pronounced it once, I’ve pronounced it a thousand times: I’m sleepy of mashing coffee drift onto my face customarily to have them tumble right off. These drift need to have some arrange of hook-like complement so we can hitch them behind your ears. And maybe sections where your eyes go that come in varying degrees of opacity so we can see where we are going. I’d call them Coffee For Your Mug.
Well, turns out one Ukrainian association has already kick me to a punch. They’re called Ochis Coffee, and they use spent belligerent to make “coffee glasses” (coffee isn’t customarily served in glassware, though whatever), and many to a discomfit of my really good suspicion out business plan, they’re indeed flattering stylish.
As reported by Forbes, many eyeglasses frames are still finished of petroleum-based plastic, that as we might have guessed from a difference “petroleum” and “plastic”, prolongation of that aren’t all that good for a earth. Like so many companies opposite countless industries have done, Ochis looked to used coffee drift as a tolerable alternative. By blending a drift with flax and a unfeeling oil-based biopolymer, Ochis are means to emanate a durable element that, when you’re finished with them, will “biodegrade 100 times faster than customary cosmetic glasses.”
The outcome is a support that “has a pleasing to a hold matte texture” and “softly [smells] like creatively roasted coffee,” per their successful 2018 Kickstarter. Ochis are water-resistant with an approaching lifespan over 5 years, and when we are finished with them, we can leave them in H2O and/or dirt and they will turn fertilizer.
The pushing force behind Ochis, owner and CEO Maksym Havrylenko, “grew adult in a family of opticians” and has 15 years knowledge in a eyewear industry. His idea was to “create something new and natural,” Havrylenko tells Forbes. “We started a hunt for a ideal element that can be recycled. Coffee was that ideal one since it is a really renouned drink. People devour 2.5 million cups of coffee per day all over a world.”
Currently, Ochis Coffee has a “small array production” though Havrylenko expects prolongation to enhance significantly in a entrance years: to 10,000 pairs by 2020 and 100,000 in 2021. The strange line is now accessible for $89 (with giveaway general shipping) around Ochis’s website, and their new Lite Edition—with a code new tone choice that looks like a reimagined tortoise shell—is accessible for pre-order for $139 by Sep 16th.
