Ooho Edible Water Bubble Aims To Eliminate Plastic Bottles.
'It is entirely biodegradable and so natural you can actually eat it.'Ooho sachets are flexible packets of water, drunk by tearing a hole and pouring into your mouth, or consumed whole.
'Our packaging is cheaper than plastic and can encapsulate any beverage including water, soft drinks, spirits, and even cosmetics.'
The Ooho sphere has a double gelatinous membrane. It is made using a mixture of sodium alginate, taken from brown algae, and calcium chloride.
The creators, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step culinary process called spherification to create the ingenious container. They begin by immersing a frozen ball of water or juice into a calcium chloride solution. This helps form a gelatinous layer around the liquid. The ball is then soaked in a solution made from brown algae extract.
This creates a second layer, helping reinforce the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving our environment, the biodegradable packaging costs just two cents each, making it cheaper to manufacture than plastic.
After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over $1 million USD from a crowdfunding campaign, are ready to bring the Ooho bubble to market. However, there are a few challenges that still need to be overcome before it becomes a serious contender to plastic bottles.
