LumiCup

LumiCup’s mission is to solve the problem of single-use plastic cups. Our planet is awash in single-use plastic waste, especially disposable plastic cups of all sizes. This year, we’ll use 500 billion of them for a few minutes and then toss them out; usually in the trash, but frequently they end up in our environment where they destroy the ecosystem and harm marine life and wildlife of all sorts. A better way to give consumers what they need while supporting circular manufacturing is to switch to infinitely recyclable aluminum. Most plastic – 95% of it, never gets recycled. Most aluminum does. Our 9 oz., 12 oz., and 16 oz. cups stay cooler, perform better, look nicer and go from your hand to the recycling center, and back to the store shelf in 60 days. Mindlessly sustainable. We can all do better, and this is an easy switch to help the planet.
