Edible packaging would also be biodegradable and a big plus, agreed that trying to eat it would pretty much defeat the purpose.

Could make some interesting food items with an edible film though.

Edible doesn't make sense, because then we need a removeable layer around it to protect the edible part.

The article describes how this edible part is also anti-microbial, if it were to be consumed instead of just thrown in a composter.

I wonder if it would be possible to design a wrapper that wild animals would happily eat. Hypothetically at least this would cut down on the effects of littering.

I think the parent comment is suggesting using it as a food ingredient, not as packaging. Like dumplings, or like how people make fancy desserts with edible gold leaf.
