HUSK
Turkish coffee cup made by coffee ground
HUSK is a circular system that transforms coffee waste into durable, hybrid coffee cups (composite exterior, ceramic interior). This design eliminates waste via a "cradle-to-cradle" approach and localized production, minimizing the carbon footprint and reducing reliance on single-use items. It uses a loyalty model that incentivizes customers to actively participate in making coffee culture carbon-neutral.
