Sustainability & Innovation
Pioneering the future of sustainable packaging through innovative design and environmental responsibility.
Responsible Materials
Every component is being carefully researched for durability, recyclability, and environmental impact as we develop our innovative solution
Plant-Based Paper
We plan to source from responsibly managed forests and agricultural waste, targeting FSC-certified and chlorine-free materials.
- •Targeting FSC-certified sustainable sourcing
- •100% chlorine-free processing planned
- •Designed for biodegradability within 6 months
Seed Capsules
We are developing heat-resistant, biodegradable capsules that will contain native plant seeds selected for local ecosystems.
- •Targeting heat resistance up to 95°C
- •Native species selection planned
- •Aiming for 90% germination rate
Water-Based Inks
We are researching non-toxic, biodegradable printing inks that won't compromise the cup's compostability.
- •Non-toxic and food-safe formulation planned
- •Biodegradable formulation in development
- •Targeting vibrant, fade-resistant colors
Modular Design
Our cups will be designed with modularity in mind. Parts will be replaceable instead of discarded, extending product life and reducing waste generation throughout the entire lifecycle.
Replaceable Components
Individual parts will be swappable as needed
Extended Lifespan
Targeting 3x longer use compared to traditional cups
Easy Maintenance
Simple repair process planned for all components
Lifecycle Timeline
Manufacturing
Sustainable production with renewable energy
Use Phase
Modular design allows for repairs and upgrades
End-of-Life
Composting and seed germination
Regeneration
New plant growth and ecosystem support
End-of-Life Program
We are planning a take-back program for true circularity, ensuring every cup will return to the cycle of renewal
Collection Program
Easy Drop-off
Convenient collection points planned at partner locations
Pickup Service
Scheduled collection planned for bulk returns
Processing
Professional composting and seed preparation planned
Impact Tracking
Target waste diversion from landfills
Trees projected to be planted through our program
Cups designed to return to the cycle
Environmental Impact
Projected measurable positive impact on our planet through every Growing Cup
Carbon Footprint
Compared to traditional cups
Water Usage
In manufacturing process
Biodiversity
Through native plant growth
Compostable
Within 6 months
