Save The Environment With Edible Drinking Cups

With almost 8 million tons of plastic leaking into the ocean each year, it's believed that there will be more plastic waste in the ocean than fish by the year 2050.

Think about that for a second. Now think about how overwhelming it seems that we can do anything about that on an individual basis.

Then look at Loliware, a line of edible cups that are flavored to match the drink inside. The cups are made from a mixture of seaweed and organic sweeteners and will break down naturally if thrown out unlike some corn - based edible plastics, according to co - founder Leigh Ann Tucker.

Watch the video above to learn more about Loliware cups, including texture, flavors, and how long the cups will hold liquid before they dissolve.
