Celebrating Patty’s Day With Green Guinness

Comments Off on Celebrating Patty’s Day With Green Guinness

There’s a magical thing inside cans and bottles of Guinness. A small, round, ping-pong ball- like object. An object whose sole responsibility is making sure that the beer maintains its bubbles, like any good stout. This object is known as a widget (not to be confused with modular box like images that appear on webpages).

A recent breakthrough from scientists at the University of Limerick has lead to the redesign of the beloved widget. Gone are the days that plastic widgets will occupy space in landfills and live on for years. Now scientists think that a one square inch biodegradable cellulose fiber canister could do a better job of keeping the stout perfectly bubbly, while also reducing plastic manufacturing and waste. Nice one Guinness.

Happy St.Patty’s Day!

Ps- Guiness not your thing? That’s ok, it’s not mine either. Read about more ways about going green today – metaphorically, of course.
