Hong Kong-based Choose Planet A has announced the launch of The Good Cup, a patented paper coffee cup that features an integrated lid.

The Good Cup is designed to be manufactured on the same machines that produce traditional paper cups. It is made from 100% certified home compostable paper and it is free from the commonly used PE (polyethylene) coating. The company says that usually more sustainable options can be two to three times more expensive than traditional options. In contrast, The Good Cup can offer savings, thanks to its integral lid. This enables a 40% reduction in storage space, transportation volume and carbon footprint as compared to the classic coffee cup, which in turn, saves companies money.
