But t the students hw t slve a very difficult prblem. She understd it very well. But smehw, at that mment, she culd nt explain it. Emma said, "I must be lsing it."

While mst cnsumers wish t reduce plastic waste, it's nt an easy gal t achieve. That's because the cheap and lng-lived material is fund in almst every daily necessity. Nw, an Indnesian-based cmpany has cme up with a delicius slutin.
David Christian, the c-funder f Evware, says after investigating varius materials, the cmpany settled n seaweed. Unlike crn, cmmnly used fr cntainers, seaweed des nt require water, fertilizers, r large amunts f space. Accrding t Evware, as much as 40 tns f seaweed can be grwn in an area the size f a baseball field. Since Indnesian farmers harvest mre seaweed than they can sell, it's easy t find the material.
The seaweed packaging is safe t cnsume and can entirely disslve(溶解)in ht water. While the eatable wrappers(包装纸)may nt have any taste, Dubbed Ell Jell, the single-use cups invented by Evware, are available in fur tastes-range, lychee, peppermint, and green tea. The best part? Yu can rder the pwder and make them at hme! Thugh currently they cannt stand ht liquids, Evware is wrking n making heat-resistant(耐热的)cups as well.
While the seaweed prducts seem like a perfect replacement, it's a hard-sell in Indnesia. Accrding t Christian, "The awareness and sense f urgency t minimize the use f single-use plastic is still very lw. This makes ur biplastic seem unnecessary." Als a factr is the cst, which is higher than using plastic. Hwever, Evware believes they can reduce the price nce the cmpany mves t mass prductin. Hpefully, Evware will succeed in cnvincing peple wrldwide that switching t their prducts will g a lng way in prtecting ur beautiful planet.
