[...] The sad reality is that France is the EU state that generates the highest amounts of packaging waste per head of population All inventions are based on new ideas and dreams which are the main driving force behind science, research and development. One of my dreams is to free the planet of the enormous amount of used food-packaging we all produce. Another is to provide more healthy eating. And finally I am dreaming of reducing food waste and cutting power consumption. Do you know what ? I made my dreams come true I could have simply looked into more environmentally friendly packaging solutions. [...]

[...] You know that all plastic ends up in the ocean and so the toxins are absorbed by animals and built up in the food chain. Thanks to an exclusive and patented process this revolutionary membrane gives you the opportunity to very effictively reduce the environmental footprint of your everyday food : it simply leaves no waste at all Furthermore, it is not only an optimal guarantee of freshness for delicious food but by improving the shelf-life (up to six months ) of your products this biodegradable packaging gives you the opportunity to reduce food waste. [...]

[...] Think of it like an apple's peel or the skin of a grape : it keeps the food inside fresh, and once you give it a rinse under running water you can eat all of it.

And this is partly because we very often buy more than we can eat. Now, if the shelf-life of fresh products is extended, we will drastically reduce our food waste, won't we ? And all that without the need to use a fridge and consume electricity, because thanks to my invention, food is always kept at stable temperatures and what's more, oxygen-sensitive food is much longer prevented from spoiling than if wrapped in a standard plastic film. [...]

[...] So, are you ready for a surprise ? Inspired by nature, I have invented fully edible and auto-preservative food-packaging. In a word : have your favourite yogurt so long fresh as you want without the use of a fridge and eat the wrapper too It's good for you It's good for the planet Let me outline a few details of this great invention which will surely convince you that my edible wrapper has everything for it. Of course, product formula constitues a trade secret. [...]
