If you are a heavy-drinking coffee lover who would like to lighten your carbon footprint, the CORTIÇA mug may be just the thing for you.
Consisting of a 12 oz porcelain mug wrapped in a cork sleeve that not only keeps your beverage warm but also serve as a coaster, this simple but stylish travel mug is a great alternative to paper or styrofoam disposable cups.
According to its creator Rober Knox, the use of cork and porcelain, “two very natural products”, means that eco-conscious users can rest easy with the knowledge that if the mug ever needs to be thrown out, it would decompose instead of staying on for ages in landfills.
The CORTIÇA mug was recently successfully funded on Kickstarter—if you missed out on that opportunity to purchase it, you can watch the brand’s website for updates on future availability for sale.
