What is the problem you found?

Most cafes and stores use one time cups which get thrown away after being used. This is more important now as more people are using one time things as it is more hygienic. 

What is your opportunity?

How might we reduce waste and help decrease global warming?

Who is your audience?

Anyone who enjoys takeaway foods; students on the way to school and adults on their way to work.

What Is Your Solution?

A biodegradable cup made of cardboard embedded with seeds which grow vegetables and herbs.

our idea is to create a cardboard takeaway cup embedded with seeds, which can then be planted and then the herbs can be used by anyone in the community.
