Skipping Rocks Lab has developed Ooho, which is an edible water bottle created out of 100% biodegradable brown algae that is an environmental-friendly alternative to plastic bottles.

Ooho and other packaging solutions are made from Notpla, a material made from seaweed and plants that disappear, naturally.

Aside from plastic-free hydration, Ooho can also be used for cocktails and sauces. It can also be used in water-proofing and grease-proofing cardboard takeaway boxes.

Ooho’s replacing sachets! Very pleased to be continuing our partnership with @justeatuk trailing sauces in our seaweed based packaging. Look out for us coming to a London takeaway soon! . . #ooho #passonplastic
