But if it disoloves in water, how can you make water bottles or any drink bottles out of it?
The contents will dissolve the bottle that they are filling!
Great question!!
Also, this wouldn’t be very practical considering rain and similar conditions…much of plastic wrapping is meant to PROTECT, and very often against water.
Perhaps it can be altered to dissolve specifically in HOT water? That would really make a huge difference!
