(Providence, RI) -- A Brown University student is hoping to replace red Solo cups at college parties with something more sustainable. Priya Mittal tells WBZ-TV in Boston the "Fette" cup is a compostable, plant-based cup which breaks down in about two months. Mittal says she and her partner were motivated to start the business when they were walking through the Brown campus and saw plenty of Solo cup litter.
