THE PROBLEM

Today we face a huge problem of synthetic material waste, because disposable or short-term products are made from durable materials

Currently, the leading materials for degradable foam packaging are derived from corn starch. Producing disposable packaging from food materials is uneconomic and even unethical, because more than enough food is produced worldwide to feed the world's population, but even 811 million people are still starving

A study conducted by researchers at Yale University shows that climate change-related depression is felt by around 70% of the US population and is growing very rapidly, especially between school-age children and youth

SOLUTION

Algae-based packaging aim to at least to reduce environmental pollution with solid waste - the material is completely organic and compostable, because it is made of only natural ingredients

The extraction of the resources required for the production of the packaging does not compete with inhabited and cultivated land areas, which are very important for growing food resources. The primary material for bio-foam packaging is derived exclusively from renewable marine and oceanic resources and algal waste in coastal regions

By using the product together with this biodegradable algae-based packaging, the consumer would not feel guilty about global environmental pollution, so this product improves the psychological health of consumers, while creating additional emotional and psychological value and reducing the environmental impact of solid waste pollution
