According to an article on Gizmag, Harvard University’s Wyss Institute is working toward creating packaging that is made out of a “natural food membrane that is held together by electrostatic forces.” They’re goal is to change the current way we package food in plastic throw-away containers by making them out of food and possibly edible. So far, the Wyss Institute team has created packaging out of orange, grape and tomato flavored membranes.
Who knows, if they’re successful, you’re sure to hear parents telling their kids they’re not done until they’ve eaten the box their Lunchables were packaged in. I think that’s a good thing.
For inspiration, maybe the Harvard team should look to the old-school wax bottles filled with flavored juice. They’re Nik-L-Nips and they’ve been around for years. As a kid, we’d scum up and combine enough money to buy them so nothing went to waste. I probably still have wax floating around my system thanks to this food stuff because if it didn’t stick to my teeth, it went into my stomach. [Gizmag]
