BioBottles

About the Idea

Ella developed a recyclable system called BioBottles.

Why did you enter the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?

I have always wanted to change the world through science. I have been passionate about the safety of animals since I was 7, and this seemed like a good way to convey and develop my idea.

What is your favorite invention of the last 100 years, and why?

The internet is my favorite invention. You can find almost anything with it, and it is so broad that there is something for everyone on it.

In 15 years I hope to be...

A marine biologist and environmental engineer. I hope that I will have raised awareness about pollution, created inventions that help ocean life, and helped to better understand marine animals.
