New “disappearing bottle” to be made from potato starch

In an intriguing development, a new biodegradable bottle has been invented that disintegrates once torn up and placed under water.
The product, called “GoneShells,” is made from potato, and can be composted, disposed of under tap water, or even eaten.
As reported by World Bio Market Insights:
“The innovative biodegradable packaging material is made from potato.
“What makes GoneShells innovative is the speed of and the multiple alternatives of degradation. With a bottle that can be home composted, eaten or dissolved under the water tap in the kitchen sink, the objectives are to create less strain on recycling systems and reduce problems associated with packaging materials ending up in nature. With a bottle designed to be torn apart after it has been used, the idea is that oneself can speed up the decomposition process. When you break the packaging and then put it in contact with water, a natural reaction starts to break down the bottle immediately – and that’s how we created a bottle with the ability to disappear by itself.
