Unocup (Folding Takeout Coffee Cup That Needs No Plastic Lid) Update: Now Live on Kickstarter

Last week Core77 correspondent John P. Kazior brought you news of the Unocup, a takeout coffee cup that requires no plastic lid.

This week its designers, Tom Chan and Kaanur Papo, have launched a Kickstarter to make the Unocup a reality:

If you think about the millions of plastic coffee cup lids we go through as a society, you’ll realize how impactful this design could be.

At press time they were at $9,658 in pledges towards a $14,500 goal. There’s still 28 days left to pledge, and I’m confident they’ll make it over the finish line. If you want to pitch in, it’s right here.
