A SUSTAINABLE INGREDIENT AND ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE TO PLASTIC
While seaweed is a broad term used for diverse marine species and algae found in lakes, ponds, seas, and oceans, the biggest potential lies in its extracts, which can give us a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to one of the biggest threats to humankind- plastic. The latter is an indispensable material in almost every sector, including textiles, building and construction, consumer products, transportation, electrical and electronics and industrial machinery. “Seaweed’s versatility makes it a promising alternative to traditional plastic in a wide range of applications. The food boxes, for instance, that you get your burger in have a very thin line of coating that makes the paper box oil resistant. This is the hidden plastic no one talks about - the current coatings are usually infused with a lot of synthetics and PFAs, which is extremely harmful for us and the environment,” says Neha Jain, CEO and founder, Zerocircle.
