Although most cities offer recycling, and most businesses provide recycling containers in addition to trash containers, disposable drinking cups are still strewn across this great country. Most people grab a disposable cup from a coffee shop, or a fast-food restaurant, so they are drinking on-the-go. On the road, there isn’t always a trashcan when you need one. Jim Johnson, an inventor, has a solution. Jim invented the catalyst cup. It’s a disposable drinking cup with a twist. Once you have finished with your beverage, you touch the catalyst cup with the chemical stick that comes attached. The chemical stick reacts with the material of the catalyst cup, and the cup starts to break down instantly. The cup sublimates, which means it goes directly from a solid to a gas, so there is no litter left behind. Jim swears the chemicals in both the chemical stick and the catalyst cup are non-toxic and the gas expelled from the catalytic reaction is also safe for the environment.
