this has been done/ tried. someone's already made an edible water bottle http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/04/12/edible-water-bottle-could-put-end-plastic-packaging/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/04/12/edible-wate... - the issue is scale. No new startup can hope to match the scale and distribution the larger companies have. I think the best case scenario is for the likes of Nestle to see these new packaging types as a good investment to boost sales and start adopting them too. Hopefully the more eco friendly options could also be produced in 25 seconds!
