A COOKIE COFFEE CUP THAT’S EASY TO RECYCLE: JUST EAT IT

Drink your coffee, then eat your cup. That’s the latest attempt to change modern take-out culture, which usually comes with an unintended side order of trash.
Not the “Cookie Cup,” an edible design cooked up by Venezuelan designer Enrique Luis Sardi for the Italian coffee brand Lavazza. “The cookie cup is made of pastry that is covered with a special icing sugar that works as an insulator making the cup waterproof and sweetening at the same time,”. A chocolate version is reportedly on the way.

Since the cup isn’t yet on the market (it will be in production soon), its ultimate environmental impact is unknown, but the company claims to have already won hundreds of awards in ecology, marketing, and design for its work (without specifying exactly which ones, granted).
