Put away all plastic bottles because now you can 'eat water' in a new way

You can fully grasp the "water ball" to eat like a grilled skewer.

Plastic waste, plastic bottles are always a threat to our living environment because it is likely to take thousands of years to decompose a large amount of plastic bottles.

Hoping to reduce the amount of plastic bottle waste dumped into the ocean by up to 1 billion bottles each, Spanish design students have invented a water-soluble, fast- digesting bubble . The names of these edible "water balls" are Ooho .

Recently, a British company - Skipping Rocks Lab is raising funds to produce this product widely. It is known that the goal they want is to collect $ 500,000.

Ooho's shell is made of easily decomposing materials.

This product is made from alginic acid sodium salt (a salt found in edible brown algae) and Calcium chloride. And they are all biodegradable materials.

To create the Ooho ball, the manufacturer will solidify the water into an ice ball then pour the liquid at the membrane covering the sphere. When the ice cubes dissolve, the membrane will solidify and we have the perfect water ball.

Each water ball contains about 9 ounces (250ml) of water but the production cost only takes about 2 cents US (about 450 VND).

The downside of Ooho is that it is difficult to drink because you have to penetrate the bubble film if you want to absorb water.

This is a breakthrough step in minimizing the huge amount of plastic bottles we use and release today. It is known that Ooho will be on sale within the next 12 months.

However, one of the drawbacks of Ooho is that it is difficult to drink because you have to penetrate the bubble film if you want to suck it or make sure it is kept clean for use.

Placing it in a bag can cause them to break, which is considered to be quite inconvenient for people who want to drink water all day.
