Drink orange juice out of 3D-printed cups made of orange peel? That's now a thing

Imagine an orange juice dispenser that recycles the skins by printing them in 3D in the form of cups. Designer Carlo Ratti, in association with Italian energy supplier Eni, has made such a thing possible. Presented for the moment in the form of a prototype, called "Feel The Peel", each time it's seen in action, it makes an impression.

This towering juice bar, more than three metres tall, serves freshly squeezed orange juice in 3D printed cups with the peel of the very fruits you are drinking. The best part is that the cups, once used, are of course recyclable themselves.
