Project Summary

We were presented with the challenge of coming up with a creative sustainable solution that would evolve the clients product line, create savings, and be more efficient. We wanted to create something that does well by doing good.

Project Objectives

Sustainability can be achieved in many different ways. In this case it was our objective to reduce carbon footprint and materials by making a cup 30% lighter with 22% less plastic.

Challenges

Adopting tooling from different technologies is an engineering challenge. Additionally, making sure other steps such as the fill line for the client can work. A change in manufacturing from injection to thermoform requires high level expertise.

Solutions

We were able to replace a heavy injection cup with a lighter more environmentally friendly thermoformed solution.
