Cocoa husk mat traps outdoor gunk
When cocoa beans are skinned to be turned into chocolate, the husks left behind can be made into extremely high-quality boot mats. Instead of using plastic bristles, Musson Vinyl Back Cocoa Mats (not so green as we'd like because they do have vinyl backs) have husk fibers set in rubber which provide excellent brushing action to skive off and trap all your outdoor gunge. Available in custom sizes. Would love to see this concept combined with backing made from the same material as the PVC-free PrAna Eco Mat. [GT]
