FestiCup
Festicup produces cups made of synthetic glass. They are barely distinguishable from regular glass and have been developed to keep beverage temperatures optimal to the customer's wishes for longer than disposable cups. The cups can be printed on adding a personalised touch. The product significantly reduces waste at events by offering a reusable alternative to the generic, throwable plastic cups. Here commercial plastics and disposable materials have been subsituted by a sustainable alternative. The synthetic glass is dureable and recyclable given it is made up of 100% virgin materials. An efficient and continuous production process ensures that the cups are perfectly stackable, reusable, userfriendly, durable, recyclable and unbreakable. By using reusable cups, customers may also experience reduced costs in the long run, by preventing the continuous purchasing of new cups per event. By making them easily stackable, their storage and use can be optimized, which can further minimize transport space and emissions.
