Plastic takes approximately 1,000 years to biodegrade, so taking into account just how much plastic is disposed of around the world every single day, the new Casein-based packaging could be an environmental savior the likes of which has never been seen before. According to the American Chemical Society, Casein coating can also be sprayed directly onto cereal to keep its crunchiness, negating the need to add sugar to it. There’s even suggestion that the Casein coating can be used for applications such as individual dry soup portions, rice, noodles and instant coffee. The idea is that the consumer would simply add hot water, dissolving the container and thereby eliminating packaging waste entirely. Im a little weirded out by this tbh
Um...how do you wash off a dirty "container" without contaminating your food? I'll stick to more conventional methods, thank you
Clark W. Grizwald would be proud! Let me spray some of this on this here saucer disk before I go down the mountain!
Waiting for MORE information... seen time after time some NEW this or that... and then later OOPS... sorry it seems it causes something bad... makes ya wonder if someone isn't paying someone a lot of money?
I think the American Chemical Society should consult or coordinate with the American Cancer Society. It sounds so space age that I am suspicious. Sadly instead of embracing a new packaging, I am suspicious of flaws. It is really cool but seems to good to be true.

And while the cost of the material will almost certainly, at least at first, be higher than traditional plastic packaging, Bonnaillie hopes that both companies and consumers will see the benefit in packaging that is both more eco-friendly and potentially healthier. I hope the packages are marked with what is used as a liner or cover....
