Edible packaging and tableware are quitely changing our lifestyles. From the edible plates “E-TRAY” by the Japanese company Marushige Seika, to the edible ramen seasoning packets by Indonesian company Evoware, these green products are not only environmentally friendly, but also directly decomposable. Explore the technology and challenges behind these edible eco-packaging and tableware, and understand the important role pulp play in green manufacturing.
Edible Pulp Tableware
Marushige Seika, a Japanese company, has introduced an edible plate “E-TRAY” made from potato starch, which can carry various hot foods for over 30 minutes. They have also launched edible chopsticks made from rush grass, each pair of chopsticks contains dietary fiber equivalent to a plate of salad. These green products utilize edible ingredients such as plant fibers and starch, providing an eco-friendly alternative that can also be directly consumed!
Pulp materials offer green manufacturing products with renewable and rapid decomposable properties, bringing more possibilities for eco-friendly packaging. For more information on pulp packaging, please contact us through our official WhatsApp.
Green Manufacturing: Edible Water
The Britishcompany Notpla has developed an edible “water orb” packaging called Ooho using seaweed and plant extracts for green manufacturing. It has two layers, and you can eat it directly just by tearing off the outer layer.
The Indonesian company Evoware has also developed 100% biodegradable edible packaging that dissolves in hot water. These green manufacturing packages achieve the characteristics of no additives and rapid decomposition, fully demonstrating the advantages of plant fiber products.
Green Manufacturing: Edible Water
Although edible packaging and utensils are excellent for the environment, they still face some challenges. The first is high cost; Marufuku Confectionery revealed that the price of edible utensils is 10 times that of plastic utensils. Secondly, their scope of application is limited; products like Ooho are not very suitable for replacing plastic bottles. Furthermore, taste and texture are also a major challenge. Despite these obstacles, edible food packaging is making strides forward, with plant fiber products becoming a key breakthrough.
