They also look like lovely plant pots. Flower pots. Toothbrush cup. I can see myself keeping a bunch of them at home.

I love that this concept is being brought into this setting. It should be pointed out that similar concepts have been around not just in India, but a great many cultures around the world. I would hope the cost per unit does turn out to be competitive with paper or plastic options. Aiming for less wasted resources and a smaller negative footprint is always a good idea. 😊

Great idea. Americans can use any bit of help when it comes to increasing the amount of recycling a person does on a daily basis.

maybe a paper (or even plastic) lid could fit on top. not completely sustainable but maybe much more.

It would be great if this were adopted by coffee shops and you were charged a deposit for the original cup and got a discount when you brought your cup back. These seem super reusable.

Here’s an idea. Go get a coffee. Sit down and enjoy the experience with a reusable ceramic cup. Then go about your business. This consuming coffee on the run is environmentally irresponsible and culturally abhorrent.

I would like to see them in a coffee shop near me and if I was to ever open one, as I am a home barista, I would use them in my coffee shop. This is due to the city near me needing to hired cleaners to keep the city clean, and that can be from things like coffee cups to other trash. You need to protect the Earth. I would also like for them to sell a machine that can make these for me, or the local coffee shop so that others can make them, themselves.
Cyber Les8
April 16, 2023 at 8:40 pm
Awesome! but idk if they can take off–I imagine they’re a lot heavier for shipping costs, and the fact that they’re brittle and so thin, does that mean if you set it down a tad too hard on the table or in a car that they crack/chip and leak, or even worse shatter? That might simply mean it could be a great sit-down cup at the coffee shop, but not a great to-go cup.

But where does the clay come from and with what energy expenditure?

I can see these cups being mass produced and distributed for in-restaurant use but it doesn’t seem practical to buy the equipment and supplies to produce the containers on demand.
A more pressing concern is the fact that a large percentage of disposable containers for take out and delivery use lids. How does this solution address that need?

This is great, would love to see these become mainstream. Cheaper and more eco-friendly and probably great reuse potential too, for seed starter pots or similar, or to just re-use as cups.

Do your job as a journalist instead of letting that dude spew lies, there’s no way that thing is made in 10 seconds. 3D printing takes time, heating and drying clay takes even more time, days even.

is the printer made from plastic by machines that use plastic in a plant that burns fossil fuels? How about the “raw” material? was it mined using fossil fuels and purified in plants that use all the non-sustainable things?

My question would be what is the impact of multiple cups plates et cetera been broken down into earth with salt in them. There is a reason you don’t put salt on Earth. Nothing grows afterwards so is there potential impact that is not transparent this initial exposure

Does it shatter if dropped? I guess paper cups don’t hold up well if full either, but it’s not something we worry about as much.

So in other words you guys stole the idea from a poor craftsman nobody knows and marketed it because going green is good for business these days.

Also if it’s made out of dirt and salt, none of that is going to enter your drink?

I don’t know how they are being processed, but if they are being fired, as it appears they are, they are not biodegradable. They will not decompose at all. They are not recyclable. In fact some of the oldest human artifacts we have are ceramic because it is so durable. Glass is at least recyclable.

How Much Does The System Cost?
Can it Be Purchased to In Home Use( and Cost Wise, Would It Be Practical)? 🤔
Where Do You Purchase The System and I Guess Supplies , To Make The Cups? 🤔
From this Short Video, It Seems It Can Also Make Single Use Bowls??? Is That True?
This Video , Though Interesting , Certainly Leaves More Questions Than Answers and No Info on Hiw To Contact The Developers/ Designers/ Manufacturers
