Skipping Rocks Lab has crafted an alternative to plastic bottled water. Made entirely from natural ingredients, it is both edible and biodegradable.
Described fondly as an ‘edible water blob’, the Ooho is a natural alternative to plastic bottled water, made from seaweed and plants. It is completely edible, so consumers can drink their water and then eat the container. It is also completely biodegradable, and degrades in just four to six weeks – similar to a piece of fruit and significantly faster than conventional PET alternatives that can hang around for hundreds of years. The packaging can be coloured and flavoured to encourage consumers to eat it rather than throw it away. Ooho’s developers estimate that their product requires one ninth of the energy required to produce PET bottles, and results in one fifth of the CO2 emissions.
