DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Saltwater Brewery, a famous beer spot in Delray Beach, Florida, is making waves for its innovative new packaging, which it hopes will lead to saving marine life.
CraftBeer.com reported Saltwater has created a new six-pack ring that is both eco-friendly and edible.
The rings are completely biodegradable, as resistant and efficient as plastic and made of barley and wheat ribbons, which makes them edible for marine animals that come in contact with them, CraftBeer.com reported.
"It's a big investment for a small brewery created by fisherman, surfers and people that love the sea," Peter Agardy, head of brand at the brewery, said in a promotional video.
The rings are being marketed as the first of their kind and could help save wildlife.
“We hope to influence the big guys and hopefully inspire them to get on board,” company president Chris Gove said in the video.
Saltwater Brewery had no comment beyond its statements in the video.
