Biodegradable bottle cap is a water bottle cap containing the plastic eating fungus pestalotiopsismicrosporia. When the consumer is done drinking from the bottle, the cap has a tab that is pulled and this tab releases the fungus. The fungus consumes the plastic bottle and the cap so no trace is left behind. The cap is made of plastic and the fungus is contained in an aluminum casing. Also contain in the casing is the safe food dye which will be coloring the water in case of accidental release or opening of the casing before the use of the drinking water. Such water coloring will be an indication to avoid using the water for drinking though the fungus is safe after human galloping.

A reclosable can end is provided. In some embodiments, the reclosable can end comprises: a lid base that comprises a scored area; a tab that causes the scored area to at least partially separate from the lid base to expose an opening in the lid base; a closure flap, wherein the closure flap comprises: a first portion; a second portion; an opening; and a protruding portion; and a rivet that connects the tab and the closure flap to the lid base such that the tab and the closure flap are configured to rotate around the rivet, wherein the first portion of the closure flap is configured to be inserted into the opening in the lid base end when the tab and the closure flap are rotated to a position corresponding to a position of the opening in the lid base.
