Empty Edible Packaging

Imagine you finish your snack, and instead of throwing away the wrapper, you eat it! That's the idea behind Envato Packaging's Empty Edible Packaging. It's packaging made from things you can actually eat. We want to help reduce waste and make snacking more fun. What is Empty Edible Packaging? Empty Edible Packaging is just what it sounds like: packaging that you can eat after you’ve finished what's inside. Think of it like a very thin fruit roll up but shaped to hold food. We use ingredients that are safe to eat and that taste good. These ingredients are carefully chosen to keep your food fresh and protected until you are ready to eat it. We believe this is a smart way to solve some problems related to trash. What is it Made From? Our edible packaging is made from natural materials. This means things that come from plants and that are good for you. The exact ingredients will depend on what kind of food the packaging is holding. For example, a package for crackers might be made from potato starch, rice flour, and some natural spices. A package for candy might be made from seaweed extract, fruit purees, and a little bit of sugar. We always list all the ingredients clearly on the package so you know exactly what you are eating. We are working hard to develop new and tasty recipes for our edible packaging. Why Use Edible Packaging? There are many good reasons to use Empty Edible Packaging. The biggest reason is to reduce trash. Regular packaging like plastic and paper often ends up in landfills, where it takes a very long time to break down. Sometimes it ends up in the ocean and harms sea animals. With our edible packaging, there is nothing to throw away. You eat the package, so there is no waste. This helps protect the environment. Another reason is that it can be fun! Eating your wrapper can be a new and interesting experience. It also teaches us to think differently about how we use resources. What Kinds of Foods Can it Hold? We are working on making edible packaging for many different kinds of foods. Right now, we have packaging for dry snacks like crackers, chips, nuts, and candies. We are also developing packaging for things like dried fruits and granola bars. We are even researching ways to use edible packaging for liquids, like small servings of juice or sauces. This is a bigger challenge, but we are making progress. The key is to find materials that can hold the food without dissolving or leaking. How Does it Taste? The taste of the Empty Edible Packaging depends on what it is made from. We try to make the taste go well with the food inside. For example, the cracker packaging might have a slightly salty or savory flavor, while the candy packaging might be sweet and fruity. We don't want the packaging to overpower the taste of the food, so we keep the flavors mild. We also make sure that the packaging is not too sweet or too salty. We want it to be a healthy and enjoyable part of your snack. Is it Safe to Eat? Yes, Empty Edible Packaging is safe to eat. We use only food grade ingredients that are approved by food safety organizations. We test our packaging carefully to make sure it is free from harmful chemicals and bacteria. Our packaging is made in a clean and safe environment. We follow strict rules to ensure that our products are safe for everyone to eat. If you have allergies, it is important to check the ingredient list before eating the packaging, just like you would with any other food product. How is it Made? Making edible packaging is a special process. First, we mix the ingredients together to create a liquid or paste. Then, we spread this mixture thinly onto a special surface and dry it. This creates a thin, flexible sheet. We then use machines to cut and shape the sheet into the desired form, such as a wrapper or a pouch. Finally, we seal the edges of the package to keep the food fresh. We are always looking for new and better ways to make our edible packaging. How Does it Help the Environment? Empty Edible Packaging is a big help for the environment. It reduces the amount of trash that ends up in landfills and oceans. Plastic packaging can take hundreds of years to break down, and it can harm animals that eat it. Our edible packaging breaks down quickly and naturally. It is also made from renewable resources, which means that we can grow more of the ingredients we need. By using edible packaging, we can help protect our planet for future generations. What are the Challenges? Creating and using edible packaging also has some challenges. One challenge is to make the packaging strong enough to protect the food inside. It needs to be able to withstand being handled and transported without breaking. Another challenge is to keep the cost of the packaging low enough so that it is affordable for everyone. We are working hard to overcome these challenges and make edible packaging a more common and practical solution. Where Can You Find It? Envato Packaging is working to get Empty Edible Packaging into stores near you. Right now, you might find it in some specialty stores or online. As we continue to develop new products and improve our manufacturing process, we hope to make it available in more and more places.
