Question: are water beads environmentally friendly?
Answer: A few things to keep in mind about water beads… Firstly, though they're non-toxic, biodegradable, and environmentally safe, they {obviously} should not be ingested. ... Either store them in a sealed container with a little bit of water, or if they do dry out, simply soak them in water for 8 to 12 hours to rehydrate them.
