A new material made from seaweed-derived fibres
Biotech start-up PlantSea (UK) has developed a new material made from seaweed-derived fibres, blended with recycled and virgin paper fibres. The paper is home and industrially compostable and can be recycled through a standard paper mill.
The material can be used to make stationery, boxes and bags and is available in a range of weights. The seaweed used in the packaging is a by-product sourced from UK aquaculture facilities. PlantSea has also developed other seaweed-based products, including a water-soluble film, a rigid material suitable for products like food trays, and agricultural mulch.
