Geo-Neutral ‘Earth Cup’ Goes from Drink to Dust

An innovative maker of super-sustainable packaging that brings an ancient material into modern society.

The inventive packaging is from a Berlin, Germany, and San Francisco-based technology company that creates “drink to dust” terracotta cups that may be the ultimate real-world example of packaging circularity.

The cup of this kind is made using three simple ingredients---clay, water and salt. And there’s a bowl, too, along with other packaging options. The products make a premium-level favorable impression, yet are economical. The packaging, which is manufactured using additive manufacturing aka 3D printing technology, is considered “geo-neutral”. It refers to natural materials that leave behind zero harmful waste.

Cups or bowls of this kind can be used with any food product or any hot or cold drink. Additionally, the packaging provides natural insulation properties and elevates the on-the-go dining experience versus typical food service packaging.

New Partner, New Chapter

On the occasion of 100th countdown day to 2023 Shanghai International Food & Beverage Exhibition (CIFB), CIFB joins hands with China (Guizhou) International Alcoholic Beverages Expo to collaborate, co-promote and co-create new space of development for the industry of alcohol products across the related circulation at home and abroad.

CIFB is hosted by China Commerce Development Center while China (Guizhou) International Alcoholic Beverages Expo is initiated and launched by the People’s Government of Guizhou Province and KWEICHOW MOUTAI GROUP. The in-depth collaboration of the two exhibition projects signals far-reaching significance at the pursuit of introducing China’s alcohol industry players to global market as well as attracting opportunities for global alcohol industry stakeholders to exchange and cooperate with each other.

Based on the new partnership, “CIFB Special Area for Exhibiting Alcohol Products” will be planned and implemented by the executives and ex*****on teams behind CIFB and Guizhou International Alcoholic Beverages Expo. In addition, parts of well-known brands related to alcohol products and hard drinks will be invited to join as exhibitors and/or visitors at the site of 2023 CIFB in Shanghai. As spirits are served on the table, wines, beers, cocktails, fruit wines and other drinks are also brought in. It is not only an issue of fair play but also a good manner of catering to everyone’s preferences. Why not come and join CIFB to get your brands sowed, cultivated, rooted, grown and thrived?

Welcome to contact us for joining 2023 CIFB as exhibitors and/or trade visitors.

As the story goes, a leaf once fell into the water and changed the taste of it. Henceforth, tea was born. Tea is one of the three major drinks in the world, produced in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide and enjoyed by over two billion people.

The moist clouds that ring Huangshan Mountain – which covers an area of 160 square kilometers – are believed to form a natural layer of shelter, blocking the sunlight and allowing the tea leaves cultivated there to produce more nitrogen content that gives them their distinctive aroma.

As a result, the celebrated Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Houkui and Qimen Black Tea produced in Huangshan have won worldwide popularity.

In 2022, Huangshan city's tea industry had a total output of 45,000 metric tons, up 4.7 percent year-on-year, generating 4.6 billion yuan ($664.42 million) in revenue, a year-on-year increase of 7 percent.

If food and beverage quality is the bottom line, packaging will be a never-neglected margin engine. I do believe the competition for F&B products in packaging is getting fiercer and fiercer. The reason is obvious, packaging can talk, prolong fresh-keeping duration, and ensure excellent mouthfeel.
