pThis entry combined a 100% biodegradable cup made from rice husks with a comprehensive options for an incentive program to encourage users to keep bringing their cups back. Cups might come with an RFID-embedded sleeve, helping users keep track of their use and get discounts every time they bring their rice husk cup in. Users could be further motivated by team competitions to save paper cups or by their individual usage to social causes. Every time the reusable cup is brought in, the money they save is donated to a charity./p

blockquoteCuptokeep is a new eco friendly take-away cup that you bring with you to the coffee shop. But this is not another of those clumsy reusable cups. Cuptokeep is made of an elastic plastic material with a construction that allows you to collapse the cup to 1/5 of its size. Cuptokeep has a similar design to a traditional paper cup for the simple reason that we want to maintain the same loveable feeling of drinking coffee. The drop safe lid makes the cup safe to fit in your pocket or handbag on your way to your coffee shop. Cuptokeep is the solution for coffee lovers to enjoy their coffee on the go with a green conscience./blockquote
