The London Half Marathon has banned plastic bottled water and will replace it with edible water balloons.

2018-11-16

London's first half-marathon advocating a complete ban on plastics took place on September 16th. The event featured edible water balloons, eliminating bottled water for participants. Runners would rely solely on these capsules for hydration throughout the nearly 22-kilometer race. These edible water balloons, named "Ooho," were developed by Skipping Rocks Labs, a London-based startup specializing in eco-friendly packaging materials. Made from seaweed extract, the containers are ingested along with the water. The material can be flavored, colored, and used as containers for other beverages and liquids, reducing reliance on and waste of plastics. The development team stated that seaweed is highly safe for consumption and reproduces quickly, ensuring no ecological impact as a packaging material. However, user acceptance of ingesting the packaging is mixed, particularly regarding hygiene concerns about the edible water balloons potentially having been touched by multiple people. In response, the company stated that participants can tear a small hole to drink from the balloons, which are biodegradable in approximately 4 to 6 weeks, claiming to be the world's first container designed to curb plastic pollution and its harm to the marine environment. Recently, there has been a growing trend in the UK to promote plastic reduction during marathons, including the Richmond Marathon in London on September 16th and the Sussex Marathon on September 29th. In these two races, Oohos will not only fill capsules with drinking water but will also collaborate with sports drink manufacturer Lucozade to trial water balloons containing sports drinks.In addition, the Richmond Marathon in London will set up three water stations and provide 90,000 100% biodegradable cups to reduce plastic bottle waste during the race. Mayor Sadiq Khan has also pledged to install more than 20 new water facilities in London this year to reduce the number of plastic bottles discarded throughout the city.
