A number of product pioneers are working on some particularly innovative materials which may well emerge as the new normal in the not-so-distant future. Here are a few that have captured our imagination.<\/p>\n<h3>Used Coffee Grounds<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-99016\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform-720x400.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable materials\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform-680x425.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Kaffeform.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Berlin start-up Kaffeeform\u2019s use of old coffee grounds to create reusable cups has already won accolades for innovation.<\/p>\n<p>Founded by German designer Julian Lechner, the brand structures its product from the used coffee grounds of Berlin cafes, mixed with natural glues and particles of wood from sustainable sources. Together, they form a liquid that\u2019s injection-moulded to create cups.<\/p>\n<p>The popularity of coffee means there are ample grounds going to waste, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to products otherwise based on mineral oils. The material is durable, reusable, dishwasher safe and insulative. When cups are no longer of use, they&#8217;re also biodegradable.<\/p>\n<p>Among the brand\u2019s product offering so far are espresso cups and saucers, cappuccino mugs, and even a reusable takeaway vessel.<\/p>\n<h3>Algae<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-99079\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom-720x400.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable materials\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom-680x425.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/bloom.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many lakes have become overrun by plant slime, and countries around the world are now dealing with epidemic levels of algae that can prove toxic to people and ecosystems in their waterways.<\/p>\n<p>Swimming in it, swallowing it and even inhaling it can cause vomiting and diarrhoea, with extended contact even linked to cancer and liver failure. All of which means there\u2019s far more incentive to filter it from waterways for footwear manufacture as a natural replacement for widely used petrochemicals.<\/p>\n<p>And so, a technology made by Aecom has been made to filter algae from water in order to turn it into a plastic foam reminiscent of that used in billions of shoes every year. Replacing the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam \u2013 which gives performance shoes their cushion \u2013 with an EVA-algae based hybrid called &#8220;Bloom&#8221; could go a long way towards clean up an ever-growing sneaker industry notorious for its harmful environmental effects.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s enough to put a spring in your step.<\/p>\n<h3>Grape Skins<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-99035\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters-720x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters-680x425.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/Winematters.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In a somewhat poetic cycle, engineer Ludovica Cantarelli has developed a way of using wasted grape skins and branches for wine bottles, with grapes used for white wine becoming the paper on their labels.<\/p>\n<p>The project, <a href=\"https:\/\/ludovicacantarelli.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wine Matters<\/a>, explores exactly how waste created from the winemaking process can be better utilised, using her own family\u2019s Italian vineyard as a case study.<\/p>\n<p>Italy produces 50 million hectoliters of wine per year, and with it, almost two million tonnes of solid waste such as branches, stems, skins and vine. All must be disposed of somehow. Most commonly, it&#8217;s burnt on site.<\/p>\n<p>Cantarelli\u2019s practise is driven by her Italian roots and, through this new craft process, she has discovered a way to create a cyclical manufacturing method that reduces CO2 emissions from discarded waste.<\/p>\n<h3>Yerba Mate<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-99037\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank-720x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank-680x425.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/cycle-bank.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Argentinian tea Yerba mate is a common ingredient in energy drinks, but industrial designer Silvio Tinello thinks outside the bottle. Through his research in biofabrication, he has pioneered the use of Yerba mate as a design material, experimenting in functional objects from lamps to shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Tinello is motivated both by Yerba mate&#8217;s cultural resonance in Argentina and his discovery of the large amounts of waste produced by the tea. He only uses the wasted leaves from the production process, rather than what would otherwise be used as food.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps most interesting of his products is the Yerba mate piggy bank. In its traditional incarnation, the penny-saving ornament is destroyed when you need your cash, swept up and binned. Tinello\u2019s version \u2013 made from mycelium and leftovers from Yerba mate \u2013 can be composted after use and have new plants grow from the wreckage.<\/p>\n<h3>Malai<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-99060\" src=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai-720x400.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable materials\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai-680x425.jpg 680w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai-400x250.jpg 400w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/formnutrition.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/08\/malai.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Malai is a biocomposite material made from organic bacterial cellulose sourced from the coconut industry in Southern India.

Suseelan, malai is produced from the bacterial by-product of coconut water fermentation, is completely vegan (you can eat it) and will biodegrade within 90 days at the end of its lifecycle (which can be many years).<\/p>\n<p>Still doubting it&#8217;s sustainable credentials?
