US students win $25,000 after creating a biodegradable coffee pod
Two American high-school students turned a chemistry assignment about household rubbish into Naturista, a coffee capsule made from pullulan. Aditya Herekar and Karan Verma tested around 200 prototypes before developing their design. Their work led to university collaboration, a patent application, a published research paper and a $25,000 competition prize.
