Yogurt Cup Redesign

2019/ Product design/ FH Potsdam


The disposable plastic yogurt cup is an ordinary plastic packaging that is lightweight, well-sealed, and simple in the manufacturing process. However, the contemporary design of such yogurt cups still has many shortcomings that cause inconvenience in use and garbage collection.

- The lid is easily torn off and separated from the cup, which will become another plastic fragment left in the natural environment.
- Empty yogurt cups take up too much space in the waste collection.
- It is not easy for people to drink leftover yogurt from a cup.
