Japan Team Develops 'Eco Fireworks' with Water Soluble Shells to Cut Debris The news from Tokyo that a Japanese team has developed "eco fireworks" with water soluble shells that dissolve within 24 hours is being hailed as a major breakthrough in reducing the environmental impact of fireworks displays.
The new technology, which uses biodegradable resin safe for organisms and dissolves quickly in moist environments, marks a significant milestone in Japan's efforts to create more sustainable fireworks.
The issue of fireworks debris has been a long standing concern, particularly given the frequency with which they are used in public celebrations across Japan.
