The innovative biomedical engineer from Harvard is now introducing WikiCells, a new edible packaging technology that allows persons to eat and transport food without plastic. A few years ago, Edwards collaborated with French designer François Azambourg on an edible biodegradable bottle made from organic materials.
These WikiCell membranes can hold the drink together and can be consumed afterwards. These membranes could be made out of something tasty, like chocolate or candy. So far, the feedback has been positive and the next stage is “…stability in an uncontrolled environment and getting this out at a scale.”
