KeepCup: An Eco-friendly Re-usable Beverage Container

Have you ever wondered how the indiscriminate use of disposable plastic/paper utensils affects the environment? I hadn’t, till I came across the KeepCup website.

Now thanks to the efforts of a Melbourne (Australia) based manufacturer of take away food containers and packaging, you can reduce your carbon footprint considerably by replacing disposable cups with the KeepCup.

The KeepCup is a spill-and-splash-proof beverage container that holds hot and cold drinks; keeps more non-recyclable plastic from reaching landfills; and manages to look cool and sexy at the same time. It can be re-used for up to four years and is easy to clean too.

If you are someone who visits coffee chains a lot and can’t start the day without a lethal shot (or two) of caffeine, this product will help you lead a greener lifestyle and become ‘hip’ overnight. Though you won’t be able to find it outside Australia or the UK yet. For more information, check out their website at keepcup.com.au.

I’m jealous of you residents of developed countries. We don’t get cool objects-of-desire like these soon enough in India.
