Edible multi-ring can-holder and methods for manufacturing edible can-holders

Abstract

A method for manufacturing an edible, multi-ring, can holder comprises the steps of dehydrating beer by-product to produce a dried pulp, grinding the dried pulp into a powder, forming a pulp slurry byadding the powder into a mixture comprising plant fibers, an environment-friendly, oil-repellent chemical, an environment-friendly, water-repellent chemical, and water, a water-to-other ingredient ratio being approximately 1000 liters of water to approximately 60 kg of the powder, the plant fibers, the oil-repellent chemical, and the water-repellent chemical, injecting the pulp slurry into a moldhaving an interior cavity in the shape of at least one six-pack ring, and applying pressure and heat to the mold containing the pulp slurry to produce at least one edible six-pack ring.

Description

technical field [0001] The system, device and method belong to the field of tank racks. The present disclosure relates to edible six-pack or multi-ring can racks and methods for making edible tin racks. Background technique [0002] Canned drinks have been around since at least the 1960s, and billions are now sold each year. A beer industry statistic states that 67,000,000,000 cans of beer are consumed a year. The website www.theworldcounts.com actually has a counter that tracks the number of aluminum cans consumed for the current calendar year. This counter is based on the assumption that the world's beer and soda consumption uses approximately 200 billion aluminum cans per year, which is 6,700 cans per second, and enough to span the globe every 17 hours when laid end to end. [0003] In the United States, the typical cylindrical (12 oz) can shape makes it difficult for one person to carry several cans in one hand. In the 1960's, companies selling beverages in cans bega...
