glass is back! this solution working with cold and warm drinks. See what you drink and how much is left :)
As soda and soft drinks coffee and teas sellers offers Deposit takeaway cups.
These takeaway cups can be brands own or someone else's finished products. Glass & plastic cups are truly sustainable and theirs recycling system is already built. In this solution customer do not need to throw away cups anymore. This is stylish to carry around and you can use glass part separate at home or work.
When is time to buy new cup: Customer come back to seller and gives old cup back. Seller give discount for new cup ( or money back if customer wont buy new cup )
*Glass, at least in Finland will not be thrown away. It returning 99.6% for recycling.
It is certain and true that one solution will not be accepted gladly. Take way culture is a commercial activity, and sellers should be possible to customize the product to own purpose (customer also want to show own personality in the product). As like the soft-drink bottles, but the recycling are taken into very well.
* My concept is the built around of Iittala Hot and Cool glass. It is an example of how the pledged takeaway cup could look like.

My my point is that it durable materials with recycling. And customer and vendor must be able to customize their own product. It is necessary, so that people want to be part of this project. Here is projects of organic materials and cardboard cups with various methods. They do not change anything. They pose only a new problem ...
does people know that we can also make plastic without oil? And we have all ready nice recycling system for plastic and glass around the world? We all ready have factories and machines witch can make these and they can get better in environmental releases?

Here is the present wild collection a shrinking and compiled mugs. Most of them will not work as they were submitted. Part does not last after one use and some are just impossible.
People are lazy and lazy.... it must be easy to take a coffee or drinks. Cardboard mug is easy to take. What makes people then assume their own sustainable mugs? witch are bit more harder to carry and will have to wash sometimes...
I think if mug is a trendy, beautiful and customized to look like user own personality it works.... (Again, iphone is large phone ...)
