Is the Solution to Too Much Plastic… Eating It?

What if you could eat your water bottle? That may not be too far off! This little at-home experiment will have you playing with the endless possibilities towards a plastic-free life in your own house!

In the fight to remove more plastic from our waste stream, a peculiar (and wonderful) solution has bubbled to the top. Have you heard of the “plastic” packaging that you can eat? Oh yeah, that’s right: water, ketchup, cocktails, or lattes—whatever you desire—can be packaged up in an edible outer layer of “plastic” that tastes… well, a little sweet, actually!
