Hilton Garden Inn Introduces Eco-Friendly Coffee Cup

I guess because just recently I had some kind of crumby Cornish flavored,  unnamed hotel coffee this article caught my interest.

American consumers use more than 16 billion disposable hot beverage paper cups each year. Unlike conventional cups, the ecotainerTM is lined with a coating made from corn, making the cups fully renewable and compostable, and helping to reduce some of the 25 million pounds of petroleum-based plastics needed each year to make conventional plastic-lined paper cups.
The introduction of the ecotainerTM to the more than 340 Hilton Garden Inn hotels now open will replace more than 6.5 million non-renewable styro-based cups used each year.
