If you are looking to get rid of all of your plastic water bottles, then there may be a new unique solution involving a material made from algae. As first reported on by Dezeen, Ari Jónsson a design student, has combined red algae with water to create the world’s first biodegradable water bottle for Design March 2016. You may not be too thrilled about drinking out of a water bottle that has the appearance slime, but if you love the environment, and hate plastic, it’s your only option at the moment.
“I read that 50 percent of plastic is used once and then thrown away so I feel there is an urgent need to find ways to replace some of the unreal amount of plastic we make, use and throw away each day,” Jónsson told Dezeen. “Why are we using materials that take hundreds of years to break down in nature to drink from once and then throw away?”
