Taking top spot in an EU competition in September 2015 was Ooho! - a spherical membrane made from seaweed. The team that developed the product are positive that their creation could soon solve the world's fractious relationship with plastic water bottles. By perforating its thin outer layer, users can drink water from the ball and eat the tasteless membrane at the same time (if they want zero impact on the environment, that is). The prize for winning the competition was 20,000/Euros - to help bring the finished product to market, which the team say they hope to achieve by 2017.
