Developed with seaweed and other natural resources, this transparent film is developed to replace harmful single use plastic often used in packaging. It looks and behaves like legacy plastic but degrades harmlessly and naturally unlike plastics. It is non-toxic, home compostable, ocean safe. No petrochemicals. No microplastics. No persistent waste. Seaweed was chosen for a reason. Unlike land crops, it requires no soil, no freshwater and no fertilizers. It grows rapidly in the ocean while restoring marine ecosystems and absorbing carbon.

Sourced from coastal farming communities in India and South East Asia, this biomass is processed into a natural polymer. The result is a material that dissolves in water, biodegrades without residue, and leaves behind nothing harmful. If it escapes waste systems, it doesn’t fragment into invisible particles. It simply breaks down as organic matter.
