Y cup

plan1

plan2

Vaso tipo ‘Sturbacks’ que vendría con una semilla para su posterior brote. El mismo diseñador, Joon Kim, reconoce que la idea no hace sentido, que podría ser un desperdicio de recursos y que es poco probable que la planta nazca luego de tomar un café, pero la idea no deja de ser llamar la atención.

[English - quoted from the designer]Y Cup is a combo of seed and fertilizer disk comes attached to the bottom of the Y Cup; simply tear open the package and empty the contents in the rinsed out cup. Add some soil from your backyard and you’re good to go. Like I said the intentions of the project are good, but I don’t think it’s possible to grow plants out of every coffee cup that you use. For an addict like me, who goes through countless cups of coffee, it would be a waste of seeds and fertilizers coz I know I won’t be able to plant and maintain so many pots! A better idea would be to supply optional cups, like you could purchase cups with or without the seed disks. That would make more sense. Designed by Joon Kim.

    No es tan complicada, en realidad, ya que no es necesario desprender las semillas del papel, sino simplemente sembrar la hoja.

    Great idea! Not everyone who works in an office sits in a tiny cubicle with no natural sunlight – this would be perfect for my desk, and almost every office I’ve worked in has had great access to natural daylight.

    And yes, biodegradeable coffee cups do exist, but that doesn’t mean that the opportunity to add a few more plants to the world should be passed up!
