Travel-Friendly Mugs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Zojirushi Stainless Steel Mug is Perfect For On-the-Go Workers

— February 3, 2015 — Art & Design

The mug is perfect for people with fast-paced lifestyles. Its lid seals and locks into place when closed, while a secondary locking mechanism prevents the lid from opening. This ensures that you can leave your stainless steel mug on the car seat without worrying about ruining the upholstery.
