As per data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, a significant amount of traditional food packaging materials are not analysed as biodegradable or natural. Furthermore, it has been found that almost 31% of solid waste generated in 2018 in the United States originated from food and plastic.
Edible packaging materials make it possible to switch to a more eco-friendly option. This packaging form is a newer addition to the many sustainable options that we get to see. Ice cream waffle cones are edible packaging; this means that you can eat the entire package along with the ice cream. In order for something to be considered food, it has to meet certain health standards and give us some sort of nourishment. The edible materials include: Vegetables, Fruits and Bakery items. Edible packaging is pretty cool because of its benefits. Not only does it reduce waste in landfills, it also lowers the need for recycling which is super great! There are different types of edible packaging choices available for brands. This enables a lot of flexibility when it comes to designing the packaging, which makes it more interesting.
The edible packaging is made with edible straw that are the best alternatives to plastic or paper straws. Well, did you know that straws which are disposable come in a variety of tastes? Moreover, these are edible after they've been consumed. Isn't this cool? Although straws are edible and will decompose into waste, they are a more breakable option than other alternatives . Wheat and water makes tasteless pasta while leftover apple fibres make fruity apples. Sweet sugar straws are also used with drinks, be it fizzy, fruity or alcoholic. Straws served along with a beverage are typically eaten quickly. Alternatively, if you prefer a less invasive experience, pasta straws offer a tasteless taste and can also be utilized for hot drinks.
If compared to paper cups, edible coffee cups sound like gloves on paper hands. They are made from materials including cookies that are coated with chocolate, vanilla or caramel glaze. Eating coffee cups does not change the taste of the coffee. Moisture also doesn't affect the structure of the cup for around an hour after the drink is served. Wheat, sorghum, and rice are commonly used to create edible spoons. These reusable items are much better than disposable ones. Sorghum provides the spoons with the strength to withstand the weight of the food during the meal. Edible packaging companies use different kinds of flour and other ingredients such as herbs and spices, to make edible spoons.
Starch-based cupcake wrappers are made from a substance called wafer paper which is obtained from potatoes. It is quite stiff and transparent, so it generally holds its form. But only heavy liquids like fuel or oil can dissolve it. These wrappers are produced by blending oil, water and dried potato starch. This makes them good to eat, but they will degrade faster than normal paper wrap when thrown away.
This type of paper is often used to wrap various kinds of sweets and chocolates, and it can be consumed along with the candies. Rice paper is a great edible packaging material as it enhances the taste of the sweets and it does not make a lot of trash like other packaging materials do. This can be used for wrapping different kinds of sweets like chocolate, caramel and hard candies.
