Researchers in Japan have created an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles by developing biodegradable and edible water containers made from seaweed extract. The seaweed membrane safely holds water, keeps it fresh, and naturally decomposes within days without leaving any harmful waste. It is also completely edible and compostable, offering a sustainable solution to plastic pollution. This innovation highlights Japanβs growing efforts to reduce ocean waste and promote green technology, showing how nature itself can inspire solutions for a cleaner planet.
