Notpla Edible Water Package

NOTPLA

The future of water Notpla’s Co-Founders Rodrigo Garcia Gonzalez and Pierre Paslier developed an edible water bubble prototype at London’s Imperial College in 2013.

Plastics Guardian and Polluter

Plastics – Nature’s Guardian, Our Benefactor ….. & Polluting Biohazard!
