Edible Water Bubbles That Might Soon Replace Plastic Bottles

Plastic water bottles might soon be a thing of the past thanks to these incredible edible water bubbles created by an innovative and sustainable packaging start-up based in London, UK.

The bubbles, called the Ooho!, are created by encasing a blob of drinking water within an edible membrane made from a natural seaweed extract. Nothing goes to waste, and the edible water pods will fully biodegrade in 4-6 weeks if left unconsumed.

The team behind this brilliant idea of bubble water is called Skipping Rocks Lab, who first introduced their ground-breaking concept in 2013.

Great idea to use a natural packaging but if the membrane is edible (assume you might just bite a hole to get the water) how is the membrane kept sanitary?

When Israeli business Adam Bismut saw a man lose his life by drowning at the Dead Sea he was determined to stop such tragedies; he invented Sightbit. The first part of the platform is reading the state of the water: The AI can recognize a range of wave movements and detect any dangerous areas for swimmers, kayakers and anyone in or on the water. The second detects people and objects in and near the water... For more and the reference: https://israeltrade.org.au/2024/01/22/ai-water-safety-platform-prevents-drownings-before-they-happen/
