Disposable coffee cup design with less waste

This disposable coffee cup called "Compleat" is a nice advance in designing products with less waste. Peter Herman of Ellenzwieg and Daren Bascome of Proverb, partnered to create this paper cup that folds creating a lid and drinking spout. This removes the need for a separate plastic lid and hence less waste. The product is in the pre-production phase and they are also hoping to waterproof the paper with a celluluse-based plastic that can be composted. via | fast company design
