text: Over the past six years, Footprint secured nine patents that cover 125 distinct inventions, including a biodegradable six-pack ring that has more give than its dolphin-entangling polymer counterpart but degrades in saltwater after 12 hours (MillerCoors started putting them on cans of its Colorado Native beer last summer), and paper straws, which decompose in three months but can sit in liquid for four days without losing shape (Wegmans, Whole Foods, and Chick-fil-A are among the customers currently using the straws).
