Skipping Rocks Lab: edible, biodegradable food packaging

A London-based start-up is creating waste-free alternatives to plastic bottles and pioneering the idea of food packaging that only lasts as long as it needs to.

A bottle of water is a short-life product that is quickly consumed yet sold in plastic packaging designed to last almost indefinitely. Approximately 13 billion plastic bottles are used each year in the UK but only 7.5 billion are recycled.

Skipping Rocks Lab ( https://www.notpla.com/) is developing compostable and, in some cases, edible packaging that’s appropriate to its use, which lasts days or weeks rather than hundreds of years.
