The First Ecotainer Coffee Cup In The Wild.

August 7th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

We took my mother-in-law to the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market this weekend and what did I see? The Ecotainer, a new disposable coffee cup that uses corn for a liner rather than petroleum products, making the entire thing biodegradable..take a look:

I gotta say that it feels no different than a regular “throw away” disposable coffee cup from any other retailer. The coffee tastes the same, the coffee stays hot and you can just toss it in the compost pile out back when you are done with it. The lid is still made of plastic that can be recycled, but hopefully they will fix that soon. Groundworks Coffee was selling organic coffee in the cups, so I got a cup to take a picture of it and taste the coffee. Yum…Groundworks..

Anyway, pretty cool. Hopefully all the big chains will start using these cups as there always seems to be an abundance of them in the trash around here.

    Coffee puts the system under the strain of metabolizing a deadly acid-forming drug, depositing its insoluble cellulose, which cements the wall of the liver, causing this vital organ to swell to twice its proper size. In addition, coffee is heavily sprayed. (Ninety-two pesticides are applied to its leaves.) Diuretic properties of caffeine cause potassium and other minerals to be flushed from the body.
