Bottle from
Agar-agar

Algae Water Bottle

Ari Jonsson has developed the concept for a water bottle made of agar-agar, which rots within a few days after use. For this purpose, agar-agar is brought to a boil with water and a gelled mass is formed. This is then poured into a frozen mold. Filled with water, this construct stabilizes. Without liquid, the outside dries, the bottle becomes brittle and degrades.
