Packaging alternativo : Ooho !!!

De como la gastronomía puede transferir su tecnología al mundo del envase alimentario de una manera sorprendente. Está claro que Ooho ! no llega a cubrir las necesidades de "convenience" del actual consumidor; pero tiene otras innegables ventajas que podrían hacer cambiar nuestras percepciones sobre dichas necesidades.

No os perdáis el video y la descripción de los autores que os dejo a continuación de este concepto para envasar agua desarrollado y diseñado por Skipping Rocks Lab de Spain :

Ooho! is an edible water bottle. No more plastic wasted when you need to drink on the go. We created a cheap edible and biodegradable membrane made of natural ingredients: Calcium and Brown Algae.

The process used to create Ooho is based on "spherification", a popular gastronomy technique made popular by el Bulli chef Ferran Adria.

Ooho challenges the way we think about packaged water. While plastic offers a convenient solution, it generated enormous amout of waste and health hazard. Ooho is more like a fruit. One blob contains about 4cl of water, the equivalent of a sip. Several of these are packaged in a similar thicker membrane, like the skin of an orange.

We believe Ooho can bring a radical solution to a major problem we are generating today. By investing on R&D to engineer the membrane to ensure hygiene, transportability and flexibility, we are convinced that we can bring change to our unsustainable habit in a big scale.

Ooho is currently developed under Creative Commons license because everyone should be able to cook it at home.

Ooho was awarded the Lexus Design Award 2014 and was publically presented in Milan at the Lexus pavilion.
