My Starbucks Idea.The throwaway paper cups have throwaway plastic tops. Reusable screw on tops can be made of tin or plastic and can be personalized, have adverts on them or be made into collectors items. A design which makes the lid usable on all sizes of paper cups is the best use of materials and with the proper top on the lid it can also serve as a funnel or cup itself.
Lets do a study on the tons of plastic lids that end up in land fills and gyres across the globe and offer a number on the waste tonnage saved by the introduction of the "Multi-use Lid" per year. Also start a project to invite artists from around the world to submit collectible artwork to go onto these "FunnelIds". We must also come up with a catchy name for proposed "TinkTops". Incentives can be offered to intice sales etc.
