Edible water bottles: Possible?

By Maiya and Eleonore

In 2016, Ooho were created by Skipping Rocks Lab to improve the environment by using fewer plastic bottles.

In late 2016, Skipping Rocks Lab created the Ooho out of sodium alginate. They created this product to show the world that there is a much safer way to drink water and a more eco-friendly way to use fewer water bottles. This creation is not yet available in stores but soon will be.

Esthel, aged 22, said: ‘I am really curious to find out what it feels like, in your hand and in your mouth. I do think this is one step further in the quest to save the earth with eco-friendly resources. It really intrigues me.’

Ella, aged 11, disagrees: ‘I think it’s really useless because I think that when you will be able to buy it in shops, it will be too expensive and people won’t want to buy it. Also, I think the sodium Aldgate gel they use pollutes just as much as
plastic.’

Are these edible water bottle intriguing you, or do you think your old fashioned plastic water bottle is just as good?
