My idea revolves around using a material that is readily available in large quantities and is 100% recyclable: Glass.
The benefits of glass include: - glass is an inert substance, therefore it will not interfere with the taste of the liquid it encases - it is a transparent material, allowing for the contents inside to be visible - glass production techniques allow for creative design opportunities - 100% recyclable
There are 5 stages I'm hoping to account for: 1. Manufacturing 2. Shipping 3. Storage (in Starbucks) 4. Consumption 5. Post-Consumption - This phases seems to be the most important when it comes to creating a sustainable product
I'm using this material choice as a jumping off point for the project and I'm very excited to see this idea evolve. I will be updating it frequently.
