So recently a revolutionary product came out called Thinx period panty
There also is a well known use of sushi Matts at home in Japan for cooking and preparing meals.
there is a revolution happening in waste free utensils, from bamboo toothbrushes, non-plastic straws, and banana fiber cartons. Even edible styrofoam made from potato starch. And many many more amazing eco friendly inventions
there is even a type of algae that was used to formulate a new product to stop bleeds, like filling a body cavity with icing from a tube. Which is soon to be FDA approved and used widely in OR’s and military field use, etc. will save many many lives.
The thinx period panty is revolutionary because of the high cost of period related products and how unaffordable it can be, so it provides a solution for that, as well as completely eliminating the *extreme* waste created by women’s periods products alone
the highly engineered, advanced material- will blow your mind with what it can do. Similarly there are other products like this, that are used to repel water and dirt, and extreme heat. Even sprays that can be used to turn any normal material into something completely water and dirt repelling. Sold with Nike shoes commonly, along with odor repellants and cleaners.
and this got me thinking about dishes.
I hate doing dishes.
Laundry however I don’t mind. Because I don’t have the physically scrub every single item individually.
So what if there were something you could put inside of every cup or ontop of plates- or used in replacement of them all together. That was similar to a towel.
and it would repel the food and liquid from getting on your dishes, so you can reuse them all the time without needing to wash them.
and instead just throw the towel in a washer, boom good as new.
imagine a towel you could roll out, and then once activated, remains stiff. Once deactivated, is back to a regular towel.
the towel wouldn’t be anywhere close to a normal towel, as fibers and such that are carpet like are known for carrying bacteria, it would need to be designed at the micro level to be *safe* to eat off of obviously. certain textures are known to be bacterially resistant so it would be engineered with health safety as a number one priority.
.... it would be cool if it could be pulled off
because it would put styrofoam and plastic and carboard plates cups out of business
and no one would have to do dishes anymore.
