The world’s first biodegradable face mask comprised almost entirely of discarded waste from large-scale coffee manufacturers.

Two months after launching, the company has already sold more than 500,000 masks, which are on sale for around US$4 apiece. It’s also exporting them to 10 different countries, in addition to its made-from-coffee ShoeX footwear, costing around US$90 or more.

Dandelly Nguyen, a company representative, says that even before the coronavirus outbreak, people in Vietnam were already using more and more one-time medical masks. “Then, when Covid-19 started in Wuhan, we pushed production harder to create the coffee masks because we were sure the demand would increase crazily.”
