Today's product of the week is inspired by something that litterally just made me sick. Carolina, in our office purchased lunch at a local establishment that shall remain nameless. She returned with hot chocolate in a take out cup and proclaimed, "Look at the lid on this thing! Isn't that crazy?" Just so you all understand what I'm talking about, here's the video of the lid.
The sheer amount of shock and awe on my face was obvious to all in the room, when I proclaimed, "Are you SERIOUS?" How much extra plastic, how many extra man hours, how much useless waste needs to be created before people will realize that conveniences like this are what is bringing us down? You really need a disposable plastic version of a resealable lid. A one time use item. Really? Think about how many times this item will come in handy when driving? It'll probably serve as an annoyance because people will have to close and re-open every time they want to take a sip.
It's great for keeping beverages hot, right? No. Chances are this extra piece of plastic will do nothing to retain the heat of your beverage.
Well, at least I won't spill on myself when walking! Or you could walk a little bit more carefully and avoid spillage.
There's not many times I'm ever as passionate as I am about an eco-friendly promotional product than I am about the promotional I'm Not A Paper Cup Travel Mug. It's items like this that remind me there's hope. Hope to stop the useless production of needless plastic items like the lid seen above. Considering the fact that nearly 10 years ago, Starbucks was responsible for using 1.9 billion paper cups (with plastic lids) things definitely need to change. And the I'm Not a Paper Cup Travel mug is an excellent start.
This item, which is popular in retail stores can now be imprinted with your logo and message to show everyone that you truly believe in the environment. It's 10oz, so it's perfect for a normal sized cup of coffee and it's made of completely biogradeable plastic. so it won't harm the environment.
Oh and as far as spillage is concerned, it boasts a sliding, spill proof lid too. Coincidence? I think not.
