CUPITO
Idea
Reusable drinking cup based on PLA (polylactide - colloquially lactic acid) to relieve the environment and reduce plastic waste that is difficult to degrade. The cup is perfect as an advertising medium.
Added value
the cup that enables sorting by type - free of printing inks, foil, etc.
KHW's internal deposit system for the recovery of raw materials
B2B partner
