Il progetto in dettaglio

NB: questo modulo deve essere compilato completamente dalle persone che propongono l'innovazione.

Qual è il problema risolto?

The world needs a plethora of sustainable solutions to tackle single-use plastic waste that not only degrade into harmful microplastics, they often contain undisclosed harmful chemicals such as PFAs.

Come si risolve?

We provide plastic alternative products using materials from the food and agricultural industry that can biodegrade and easily be recycled (i.e. seaweed).

Chi sono i potenziali clienti?

We target farmers and plastic product manufacturers. We aim to provide complimentary income for farmers as they are our source and sink (recyclers). We target manufacturers to manufacture and distribute our products.

In che modo questa soluzione è diversa?

Recyclability. We recapture the main ingredients for re-use. As the world endures climate change, bioresources & water become scarce commodities. We'll be competing for the same materials at scale? Thus, re-using what we can, whether it's upcycled, downcycled, or biodegraded as fertilizer, giving multiple lives to the same materials is important. As well, we work with more than one biopolymer.
