Bulgarians save the world from… plastic cups

Two Bulgarians from Plovdiv – Mladen Djaluzov and Miroslav Zaprianov – patented an edible coffee cup. It is made of wafer and remains crispy for no less than 40 minutes. 

Its inventors say their idea is to protect the environment from the millions of plastic and paper cups floating around. It took them three years to develop the cup from natural and environmentally friendly cereal. Mass production is expected to be launched this coming spring. Djaluzov and Zaprianov have already been receiving orders for the product from all over Europe.
