Seaweed based materials
Alternative
Summary
Algopack makes seaweed based materials.
Description
Algopack®, a natural material, offers an alternative answer to plastic. Algopack offers a solution for reducing pollution from plastics, on land and in the oceans. Algopack is capable of producing a rigid material made from 100% based industrial waste from brown seaweeds. For their growth, seaweeds need no fertilizer nor pesticide and they need low amounts of water. They absorb and convert CO2 into sugar for growth and release O2, thus promoting the development of plankton. Seaweeds are not invasive and respect biodiversity. At the end of the life cycle, the material is fully compostable and becomes a natural fertilizer.
