Working on Making Disposable Items Made of Food
It looks like in the future our disposable cups, plates, forks and packaging materials will be made from food. These new products, which are still being worked on, are made of corn, rice husks, mushrooms and agar. They are less harmful to the environment and can break down into nothing.
Some of the companies working on these items are: Ecovaties Ecocradle – made of rice husks and mushroom roots, which will hopefully replace Styrofoam. The Way We See the World is working on agar made edible drinking glasses.
