Ozharvest rescue food that can?t be sold by supermarkets and food retailers due to being past its display by date but is still perfectly good to eat. They also rescue products which are surplus for a variety of commercial reasons, such as change in packaging or incorrect orders. www.ozharvest.org
Plastic bottles make it easy to transport water, but it takes energy to make the bottles. When you?re done with your drink, it takes more energy to unmake the bottle, as plastics won?t fully degrade on their own. Now a startup called Skipping Rock Labs thinks we can just skip plastic bottles entirely. It has developed a capsule called ?Ooho!? for transporting water that is not only biodegradable, it?s edible. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/247672-seaweed-based-water-pouch-aims-end-need-plastic-bottles
