The eco-concept of portable folding cups arrives

In recent years, there has been a rise in environmental awareness, with many people touting eco-friendliness; however, in reality, few people practice what they preach. Inventor of the folding cup, Chen Zhong-yu (陳忠郁), discovered that carrying a cup around was very inconvenient and therefore very impractical to implement. By inventing the thin and convenient folding cup, Chen Zhong-yu has made it much easier for consumers to practice environmental protection and reduce damage to the environment.

Currently, many shops offer discounted rates on personal eco-friendly cups but few consumers are buying. In the eyes of most people, such cups are too heavy and inconvenient, and the discount not attractive enough to offset the inconvenience. If people continue to use disposable products and fail to take action over the global trash problem, then we will not only quickly exhaust the planet’s natural resources but are also on course for an ecological catastrophe.

近年來環保意識抬頭，時常有人喊著「友善環境」的口號，但事實上，親身實行理念的人卻不多。折折杯發明人陳忠郁發現，自備容器的問題在於攜帶不便，而無法落實。因此，他設計出輕薄短小的折折杯，讓消費者在沒有負擔的情況下，輕鬆力行環保、減輕對環境的破壞。

目前許多店家都有提供自備環保杯的折扣，但大多消費者仍不買帳，對他們來說，攜帶環保杯笨重又不方便，折扣的誘因不足以吸引他們使用。若是人們不斷地使用一次性資源，且對後續帶來的龐大垃圾毫不關心，久而久之，環境資源也將逐漸耗竭殆盡。
