Bottle that disappears as soon as you finish its contents

Ari Jonsson made a biodegradable water bottle out of algae. And yes, it's absolutely safe to drink water from it. Wouldn't it be ideal if we had a bottle that would vanish the second we finished the water inside? Well, thanks to a student named Ari Jonsson, that's a reality now.
Imagine all the plastic consumption he'd be saving the world from!

Ari Jonsson, a product design student of Iceland academy of arts, has created a biodegradable bottle from something as odd as algae. Jonsson mixed red algae powder and water to create this genius biodegradable bottle.

As is common knowledge, a plastic bottle takes up to 450 years to decompose. And given our consumption of this devil, it's not going to be too late before the planet chokes of plastic poisoning. 

According to The Logical India, Ari Jonsson said, "I read that 50 per cent of plastic is used once and then thrown away, so I feel there is an urgent need to find ways to replace some of the unreal amount of plastic we make, use and throw away each day."

 Jonsson studied the strength and weakness of materials that he could use as a substance for creating a water bottle. He then stumbled upon a powdered form of agar, a substance that's made from algae. Next, Jonsson rotated the mould while it was submerged in a bucket of cold water. He then placed it in a freezer for a few minutes, after which, the algae bottle was extracted from the mould.

So, how it works is--as long as the bottle is filled with water, the bottle remains in shape. However, once it is emptied, the bottle starts to shrink, to eventually decompose. The bottle is made from 100% natural resources, so it is absolutely safe to drink water stored in it.

 The best part is that the bottle is edible. "You could even bite the bottle," adds Jonsson.

"If it fails, or if the bottom is too thin or it has a hole in it, I can just reheat it and pour it into the mould again," said Jonsson.
