Disposable cups contribute significantly to global plastic pollution. To combat this, designer Kalina Gotseva has developed “Reusable”: a collapsible, pocket-friendly cup made from durable, food-grade silicone. Its unique twist design enables transformation from a full-sized cup to a compact form factor, ensuring easy portability without compromising on functionality.
Unlike single-use cups, which often end up in landfills after just one use, Reusable offers a practical alternative. While some paper cups claim recyclability, many are coated with plastic or wax to prevent leaks, rendering them unrecyclable. In contrast, Reusable presents a solution that transcends the limitations of traditional disposable cups. Its ability to be reused countless times throughout its lifecycle minimizes waste and environmental impact.
3D printed from durable, food-grade silicone, Reusable is not only environmentally friendly but also practical for everyday use. For avid tea and coffee drinkers, who rely on their daily caffeine fix, Reusable offers a sustainable option to enjoy their beverages on the go. Its collapsible design makes it easy to carry in a pocket or bag, ensuring that you’re always prepared, whether you’re at work, traveling, or enjoying outdoor activities.
Beyond its practicality, Reusable boasts sleek aesthetics and ergonomic grip, enhancing the overall user experience. Available in three enticing color options: dark blue, light aquamarine, and vibrant orange—there’s a Reusable cup to suit every style preference. With its innovative design, durable construction, and vibrant color choices, Reusable offers a stylish and eco-friendly alternative to traditional disposable cups.
