Team creates edible 6-pack rings for sea life, reduces plastic waste and saves lives

Instead of killing the animals, it feeds them.  This is the backbone of the idea that is the edible six pack rings, developed by Saltwater Brewery, from Delray Beach, Flordia.

“It’s a big investment for a small brewery created by fisherman, surfers and people that love the sea,” Peter Agardy, head of brand at the brewery, said.

“We hope to influence the big guys and hopefully inspire them to get on board,” Chris Gove, president of the company, added.

The rings are the first of their kind.

They are 100% biodegradable and edible and are created from the barley and wheat ribbons from the brewing process.  The degradable ribbons are as resistant and efficient as plastic and as more companies start producing them the prices will drop.  Until then, expect to spend a little more to save the environment.
