      This has been around since 2016, though only available for sale since 2018. It uses waste byproducts of the brewing process to create a biodegradable/compostable cardboard-like substance. It can be consumed by some animals like manatees/turtles/fish but it’s not really intended to be fed to them, just more that it’s safe if it ends up in the environment.

        They stink like over-ripe mushrooms in my experience. They also easily break and you have to reinforce them with plastic packing tape. It’s a nice idea, but a regular paper box is the better option.
