New food packaging made from seaweed instead of plastic
Evoware, an Indonesian based startup has designed a new food packaging made from seaweed. The wrapper is nutritious if it’s eaten, and if it ends up as litter, it naturally biodegrades. A waffle vendor in Belgium is one of the early customers testing new food packaging made from seaweed instead of plastic.
Because the new packaging dissolves in hot water, the startup plans to use it to begin to replace packages like the tiny plastic sachets filled with seasoning in instant noodles. Instead of struggling to open the package, you drop the whole thing in your bowl of ramen and stir it in (the packaging is almost tasteless, so it doesn’t affect the flavor of the soup as it melts). It can also be used for instant coffee, which is popular in Indonesia. The company is also making edible wraps for burgers and other sandwiches.
