A planet Earth Product Design Review – with Cups

Get the function right >>> for people & environment…. and then follow with form.

In this post:

Say no to the Big 4
- What we looked for in a coffee cup

You can find lots of help developing the Circular function of a product; the environmental side.
Cradle to Cradle Certified™
A Total Product Design Review = humans and planet Earth
1 centimeter+ all around and a 100% better designed reusable collapsable cup!
