Isn't it strange that in 21st century's design world, there's still the problem of the paper cup that it is too hot for our fingers? We still need an additional paper label or even a second paper cup to prevent our hands from getting burnt.

It seems Canada wants to dispute Germans World Championship in waste separation and cleanliness... . Anyhow it should be a nice test if this works.

The paper cup is a strong symbol of being part of the performance society as it shows that the user has got no time to hang around in a café. And it's a hot candidate for replacing the outlawed cigarette: it's made of paper, gets warm and you can suck on it. Hard for many to live without all this.

Producing cups made of corn will only rice food prices. So better designing a comfortable and appealing service around commuter mugs... this could work! Using instead of owning...
