Entrepreneur Laura Napoli created the unbreakable TROPICUPS after a realization in 2017. 2017 is when Hurricane Maria struck her home country of Puerto Rico. Laura wanted to do more to prevent global warming and promote environmentalism. During this time, she found it hard to find sustainable objects. This is why she created her brand VITAL. VITALs main goal is to reduce waste and aid the economy in Puerto Rico.
The TROPICUP is a reusable, portable cup. It is made from durable BPA-free platinum silicone. They are foldable, unbreakable, and compatible with hot and cold liquids.
Non-disposable products are a significant cause of the deterioration of our environment. Laura hopes to be part of the solution. Puerto Rico is known to be one of the most impacted places around the globe when it comes to water crises.
