Takeout drinks are convenient, but their packaging? Not so much. Most cup carriers are single-use, wasteful, and do little to keep drinks stable or at the right temperature.
Nos Design Consultancy created the paper pulp drink briefcase to solve this problem. It’s the sustainable solution for modern food and beverage deliveries and Nos is hoping large brands that lean into sustainability, whether earned or not, will take notice.
How It Works: Simple, Smart, Sustainable
The case is made from compostable paper pulp, a material known for its eco-friendly properties. It’s lightweight, recyclable, and could even be made from repurposed paper industry byproducts.
That’s not just good for the environment; it’s practical for businesses looking to cut packaging waste.
This carrier is designed to fit three standard drink sizes (Tall, Grande, and Venti). Grooves secure lids in place, and the interior snugly holds cups, minimizing spills.
The clamshell design keeps everything compact, making it easier to stack, transport, and store.
A Boost for Delivery Efficiency
Food and beverage deliveries have surged in recent years, and packaging waste has followed suit.
The Nos drink case is stackable, allowing couriers to transport more drinks at once. This space-saving feature reduces trips, fuel usage, and overall delivery costs. For cafés and delivery companies, it’s a win-win.
Its ergonomic handles make it easy to carry, and built-in spaces for order details or branding add a personalized touch. Baristas can load up drinks quickly, seal the case, and send them out without hassle.
Better for the Planet—and Your Coffee
This drink case isn’t just recyclable; it’s compostable. And it looks cool.
When it’s no longer usable, it can decompose naturally, reducing landfill waste. Its natural insulating properties help retain beverage temperatures longer, whether you’re delivering a hot latte or an ice-cold smoothie.
By replacing traditional plastic or cardboard carriers, this paper pulp case could significantly cut down on the billions of single-use packages discarded every year.
Why It Matters
Packaging waste is a massive environmental problem. The global food delivery market alone generates over 500 billion pieces of disposable packaging annually.
Solutions like this paper pulp carrier tackle two challenges at once: waste reduction and improved delivery efficiency.
For businesses, adopting such eco-friendly options isn’t just about sustainability—it’s about meeting customer demand for greener practices.
