Sometimes a tub of ice cream or a pot of yoghurt is so tasty that we spend several minutes scraping out the inside and then, if nobody’s looking, lick the lid. Wouldn’t it be even better if we could simply eat the lot, container and all?
It would cut down on the amount of waste we produce and the enjoyment of our food would last that little bit longer. This is exactly what a team of scientists say they have managed to do.
They say the invention of edible food packaging will transform how we eat and cut down the amount of plastic we throw away.
The packaging, created by researchers in France led by Dr David Edwards, is called WikiCells. It’s designed to imitate how fruit and vegetables are ‘packaged’ in nature with a protective outer layer or skin you can eat.
