Created biodegradable containers for water

        


A group of British students have created innovative packaging for drinking water, which is able to resolve one of the main environmental problems of the planet – untold number of disposable plastic bottles that have flooded in recently all over the world. The development, called Ooho, is an edible and absolutely safe for the environment and for human the container which, in addition to these advantages, it is also incredibly cheap to produce.

In the current version, but it is far from ready for mass production product, the cost Ooho does not exceed two cents. And over time, with the successful development and launch a large-scale release, it can even be reduced by half.

In terms of sustainability and edibility of packaging Ooho, it is provided by a special component structure, which since 1946, known in the scientific world under the name Sphereification.





This shell gelatin double bubble, as components for the production of which uses calcium chloride, kelp and sodium alginate. All these components are popular food additives, which in addition to edibility, are also biodegradable, which is important for those who such containers do not have to taste.As we have outlined above, to talk about the appearance of water in such containers in the stores, while it is not necessary, as the mass application of the current version is still far. In order to distribute the Ooho, you need to make it compatible with printing different information, to teach the barcode printer to work with the edible base and create not only original and useful, but also convenient option of such containers.If the initiative will get the support of government agencies and private investors, with sufficient funding prospects Ooho look very rosy. But it is safe to harp on the imminent demise of plastic containers for water, not worth it, since it is tied not only many industries, but also the financial interests of a very large and influential producers.
