Takeaways:

  • Jesse Tran and Son Chu, the founders of Rens Original have made shoes out of waste coffee grounds and recycled plastic pellets.
  • The coffee grounds are mixed with recycled plastic pellets found in water bottles. This created a coffee polyester yarn which the upper part of their shoes is made from.
  • “Our signature coffee yarn helps cut the amount of methane-producing food waste that ends up trapped in our landfills while providing a material that is UV-protective, odor-fighting, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying” said Son Chu
