Who is not familiar with the heart-wrenching photos of the damage done by plastic six-pack rings to marine life? No one disagrees that this is a serious problem. The plastic six-pack rings tangle the wings of sea birds, choke seals, and warp the shells of growing sea turtles.
A Florida brewery called Saltwater Brewery has a solution. They have introduced six-pack rings that can either biodegrade or serve as a snack for wildlife. After years of research and development, the rings, made of wheat and barley, are now popping up in south Florida stores.
Saltwater Brewery is a craft microbrewery in Delray Beach. Kudos to them! They developed the rings in conjunction with a startup called E6PR. Troubleshooting and manufacturing the rings was expensive. E6PR hopes other breweries, both small and large, will buy into the new rings and help bring costs down. Let's hope so. Share this info!
