Meal Bag Germany
An edible food packaging
The Meal Bag is an edible food packaging. Its ingredients are similar to those of paper but are edible.In hot water the compound dissolves and can simply be added to meals. As one of its main ingredients is corn starch, it functions as a sauce thickener during cooking. Just like bread it is a supplier of fibre and energy. Therefore, the packaging becomes part of the food chain instead of a hazardous material. The material is edible, compostable, it weathers within a short period of time, it can be renewed and recycled.
