Apple EarPod Packaging Dissolves in Water [Video]

Apple EarPod Packaging Dissolves in Water [Video]

Posted October 11, 2012 at 4:45pm by
The Apple EarPod packaging that comes with the new iPod touch and iPod nano is biodegradable, reports Mashable.

The EarPod case doesn't completely disappear, but when placed in warm water, it pretty soon becomes pliable, and soon falls apart. After a few minutes, the result is a bunch of pulp (see inset photo). Do not, however, try to dip the iPhone 5's EarPod case into water. That thing is all hard plastic.


Check it out in the video below!

what a stupid feature apple decided to throw at the world. pretending to be a green and healthy company, 'look consumer, this piece of plastic breaks down in water' says apple. the end result kinda looks no different to throwing a bunch of lego pieces into a bowl of milk. it doesnt properly dissolve or degrade. those pieces would still kill a fish.
