CUPITO

be an eco hero

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

With the CUPITO, we offer a reusable solution for municipalities, event organisers and clubs that are not directly affected by the reusable obligation that came into force on 1 January 2023, but want to set a good example and rely not only on reusable but also on renewable raw materials.

Components

PLA (polylactic acid) instead of PP (polypropylene)

Same properties as conventional PP

Consisting of 100% renewable raw materials e.g. sugar cane

100% biodegradable

Industrial composting possible

Can be 100% integrated into existing circular economy (sistema dual)

Production of the basic material has a negative CO₂ balance
