Collapsible Beer Cups

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Brew Glasses Conveniently Flat Pack for Easy Storage

— December 30, 2015 — Special
The Collapsible Beer Glasses are an ideal beer cup design that conveniently flat packs into less than a quarter of the size when not in use. This is ideal for travel and storage, as the chalice reduces so much in size.

Brew glasses are ideal for drinking, but once used and cleaned they tend to take up a large amount of room in cupboards due to their bulky shape. The Collapsible Beer Glasses solve this issue entirely with a handy plastic design that is virtually unbreakable. The cup is made from sections of spherical rings that expand into a full sized pint glass, but then simply fold into one another for easy packing up. These cups would be ideal to take on outdoor trips due to their small size.
Trend Themes
1. Collapsible Cups - The rise of collapsible cups for convenient storage and travel presents opportunities in the kitchenware and travel industries.
2. Unbreakable Plastics - The development of virtually unbreakable plastics can disrupt the traditional glassware industry by providing a durable and safer alternative in commercial and household applications.
3. Portable Drinkware - The growing demand for portable drinkware solutions presents opportunities for companies that can provide convenient, functional and eco-friendly designs.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Manufacturers in the kitchenware industry can leverage collapsible cup designs to differentiate their offering and to cater to consumers who prioritize functionality and convenience.
2. Travel Accessories - The collapsible cups trend presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies that operate in the travel accessories market, enabling them to provide lightweight, space-saving and durable solutions for outdoor enthusiasts and frequent travelers.
3. Food and Beverage Packaging - The development of virtually unbreakable plastics can disrupt traditional glassware in the food and beverage packaging industry, providing a safer and more durable alternative while reducing the environmental impact of waste.
