In private settings, this kind of disposable products has proven very popular with consumers who prefer easy and quick cleanup after parties, etc.

[2] A kulhar is a traditional handle-less clay cup from South Asia that is typically unpainted and unglazed, and meant to be disposable.

The waste problem is aggravated by the fact that most of the utilities themselves come in plastic and thus disposable packaging.
