365QOD - Day594

“Now, just eat it.” – a motherly advice

Most coffee drinkers do not think anything of reaching for a new fresh paper/Styrofoam cup.  If we are a bit more conscious or at a location like office or home we tend to use a ceramic/metal cup. 

But what if you could just simply eat the cup after you are done drinking from it?  As long as the cup is tasty, this could prove to be a great idea.  I read a Fast Company article, Cookie coffee cup that’s easy to recycle: just eat it, that describes this cup.

I have seen this same idea used for old electronics being re-purposed into new electronics.  I question the usefulness of this because by originally being discarded it could mean that the product is at the end of its life and we are trying to continue using it.

Today’s question is:
“Could something that is currently a waste in your world become new gold?”
